Yukata Day is one of the most anticipated events in Azumi's school. Kids get to wear their cute kimonos and the school has prepared fun activities for the whole day.

I am excited for this day because Azumi will finally wear my hand sewn obi belt with a matching hand made hair bow.

My effort has paid off because she loved it and I got some compliments too.

Yukata is a traditional informal kimono that is made of cotton or synthetic fabric. It is usually worn in summertime especially during festivals (matsuri).

Parents weren't allowed to participate their school's Yukata day. Nonetheless, we went to another festival after school (^^) at Showa Kinen. However, it was not a japanese festival ~~

Can you guess???

As usual, it was a great friday!
