(posted; Japanese culture page)
July 21st is "Marine Day" in Japan. Firework Festival is close to this day.
Yukata is worn mainly at the traditional summer events like fireworks and bon dance festivals. Especially we can see children and young couple wear them. Here are the pictures of display of them at the department store.
I reminisce my mother used to wear kimono frequently and loved to see her wear them by herself elegantly. Not many people wear this traditional clothes nowadays.
Fireworks in my city, was held last night and it became an annual event
for both of us to go:-) Always gives me a moment
of feeling of free from mundane affairs. My husband took pictures for me to post. Although I know these pictures won't express the dynamic feeling much, I wish to let you know the event. I wonder if your area have fireworks event like we have in many places during the summer.

Have a great new week, Miyako san xoxo
Dearest Miyako,
ReplyDeleteWhen we went home a day earlier in 2007 (8 of us) it was also shortly before Marine Day, I remember and it is a very important Japanese holiday, involving the family.
Lovely photos and you make me think of my kimono with these photos. Sad that the tradition seems to be fading...
Hugs,
Mariette

ReplyDeletethe kimonos are so beautiful. i want to touch the fabric.
ReplyDeleteIt is sad to se traditions fall by the wayside ... The Kimono is so beautiful and I think perfect for special occasions. We do have fireworks here for many reasons but mainly for our Independence Day celebrations. Your pictures are all lovely and your husband did a wonderful job capturing the fireworks ... we can imagin the dynamic feeling as we look through them. Thank you, Orchid, for this beautiful post.

beautiful firework pictures. and i think yukatas are very pretty. i took japanese in college and remember i got a chance to wear one during culture day :)
ReplyDeleteThe kimonos are so lovely. I'm sure they are hard to wear and we are all so much more casual today. But hard to see traditions die out. I think your country does better than most at keeping them alive.
