Yukata

As promised, here is a post devoted to my new yukata.

Yukata are summer kimono's worn by people in Japan during the festival season. Throughout July and August, there are many festivals for all different reasons, some more spiritual, and some entirely meant for entertainment. I came to Japan at the end of the festival season, and therefore was only able to attend 3 festivals, but each had amazing food, entertainment, and all had evening fireworks after the festivities. The fireworks in Japan are legendary.






Here is a very poor video of the legendary fireworks in Japan. I considered not posting this since, while the quality of the original video is great, uploading it here destroys the video quality. But, nonetheless, I thought I'd give at least a taste. This was even a very tame portion of the show, as the finales are amazing.
