A few days have passed since school began. Every day I'm busy because my house is so far from my school and I have to do my homework:( Then afer school I go to driving school or I work part-time job. Sometimes I feel tired but I spend days enjoyablly:)By the way I want to put some pictures.It's one of my memories in summer♪
I wore Furisode for Seijin shiki. It is the most formal kimono for single women, and made of very fine, brightly colored silk. Furisode are distinguishable by their long sleeves, and the name literally translates as swinging (furi) sleeves (sode) - these sleeves average between 39 and 42 inches in length.
Seijin shiki (成人式) is the Japanese coming-of-age ceremony. It is held annually on Coming-of-Age Day (成人の日, seijin no hi), the second Monday in January. Maybe you think why did I wear Furisode in September!? If I wear Furisode on Coming-of-Age Day and go to Photo studio,I can't get memorial pictures because Photo studio is very crowded that day!That is the reason why I wore it in summer.
Anyway Kimono is sooo tight^^;but it is beautiful and vivid.I like Kimono:)
