Kimono

Today I finally got my very own kimono. A small shop here in Nikko sells them second hand, and I bought 3, two on sale, very cheap, and one that is a little more classy - as you can see on the picture.


I had the woman in the shop show me how you wear it right, and then she took my picture.

They are quite heavy such kimonos, so I decided on the spot, to go to the mail office and send it to Denmark right away. It was quite a hassle to get it done, getting a box, packing it all, and then finally carrying it all back to the office to mail it. In the end the package weighed almost 5 kilos, which i don't need to carry all the way - nice!


It took quite a lot of walking to get this done, and the weather did not really improve, it kept being cloudy, so I decided just to wander and look today. Nikko is a spectacular town - even without visiting shrines and temples.
