I bought a beautiful yukata (summer kimono) today. On Friday there is a huge party with 1.5 hours of fireworks at Ohori Koen in Fukuoka. So right around the corner from where I live. Plus it's August 1st, so our Swiss national holiday and it's cool to see some fireworks here too. Reduces homesickness (if I had any)...For this festival you are expected to dress in a traditional Japanese dress. The school has some yukatas they rent out, but I wanted to have my own and a really nice one.
So I went shopping after school. I found a really lovely light blue yukata with flowers on it, a matching obi and geta, the wooden "flipflops and a undergarment. The price included a fitting - or dressing rather. So I will go there on Friday to be dressed up. I'm not sure I'd manage otherwise, especially getting the right knot into the obi would be tricky.
I never thought I had fat feet, but trying on the geta I started thinking I have... They are really really tight and I had to squash in my feet. But I will wear them!
