Yukata 'Summer kimono' and Fireworks;

(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. 

We saw the fireworks from the harbor of the industrial company.

City Firework festival and Yukata (summer kimono)

This is my more than 35 years old summer kimono             These are the modern new style kimono from PC

 We had unexpected, pleasant call from a couple of hubby's ex-colleague and they came to show their Yukata before going festival.  And approved that I upload their pictures.

City Firework Festival was held last night and it became an annual event for both of us to go.  Always gives me a moment of feeling free from mundane affairs. Enjoyed about 2 hours' transient fireworks show. 

Yukata is nowadays worn mainly at the traditional summer events like firework festivals, bon dance festivals etc. I saw many couple at the festival, girl wearing it but not boys.  A bit funy feeling to see couples like these for my generation. And I wonder if you can see the difference of the design between my old one and new one. As I haven't worn and opened mine after using a couple of years when young, no longer capable to wear.
