Japanese wear


I guess you all heard about kimono. Right. The japanese traditional wear is called kimono.

This one is used for attending a party. Any party but for funeral you should wear dark colors: usually blue or black.
It's not easy to put this thing on since it consists of several layers and knots (no wonder the breasfeeding mothers were not allowed to go out --you can't breasfeed your baby in this outfit!)

For the wedding gown, it's even more complicated.

It's surely heavy !! You can barely walk!

Nevertheless, in summer you wear a different kind of kimono, they call it "yukata". It's cooler but still consists of two layers.

This is called "obi". There are lots of variations of tying this obi, but trust me none of them is easy to do. Have you ever wondered how to tie it at your back???

If you take a closer look, the hairdo is similar to the chinese one. Ehm!!

This one is yukata for the men. Cool!

I you think it's too hot to wear any yukata at all, you can wear this one: jimbe. Unfortunately jimbe is only for men.

We managed to take pictures together in front of our dorm :)

We proudly say : this is the Sanjaya family in the summer in Yokohama. Cheers!!!
