A summer festival is held in my town. One hour before, all of a sudden, it started pouring, but luckily stopped soon. Now the sun is shining through clouds. No wonder, the best condition for a festival in summer is prepared.
My daughter, 13, wears yukata, which is a light kimono and typically worn in the situation of summer festivals.The yukata looks good on her, and I bet she looks so beautiful.
The one thing I have to point out about the yukata is it is not new for her but 25 years old. The condition, however, is wonderful thanks to her mother. She has taken good care of it for quarter a century.
As you guess, the yukata is one that my wife wore 25 years ago when we went on a date in Gion festival. This reminds me of the scene where she, 18, was so charming with this brand new yukata at cafe, Wabisuke, in kyoto.
Hopefully, the yukata is handed over to the next generation, my daughter's daughter. A concern remains regarding whether my daughter would be able to keep it in a good condition for another 25 years, though.
She can do it! I am looking forward to seeing the scene with my wonderful wife.
