In Japan there is a coming-of-age ceremony. The day is speciall, so many people wear long hanging sleeves. And during summer vacation, I was still 19, I selected the sleeves with my mother. The right and left picture was taken we went to the shop. I don't wear Kimono or Yukata in everyday life, so when I wore the long sleeves, I could'nt walk smoothly. This January, when the coming-of-age is taken place, I will go some places with old friends in sleeves, so I thought practice to walk with sleeves and zori. I would like the day to come sooner!
