Cool Japanese Traditional Clothing

kimonokosugi.blog55.fc2.com

I want you to know about Japanese traditional clothing because there are many traditional clothes in Japan and these are cool and important. At first, many people wear yukata, an unlined cotton kimono that is Japanese traditional dress, when we go to the festival in the summer. It is so cute and comfortable because it is hot and humid in the summer. I have happily worn it in the festival. And then, all girls wear the furisode, a long- sleeved kimono. It is so cute, but it is expensive, so people not only buy it but also rent it. I will wear the furisode that my older sister worn. At last, everyone wears happi, which is like a coat, but it is made of cotton. I have a good memory concerning this clothing. We wear it in the festival in the autumn. Men and boys carry a portable shrine, and then women and girls go to the men and boys’ aid. It was fun and exciting. I was able to talk to many people there and ate a lot of delicious food, so I like this festival the best. In conclusion, we have a lot of traditional clothing and wear it during each event, so we have a lot of memories attached this clothing. Japanese traditional clothing is important for us.
