It means a lot in my heart. Always thank you for your support. <br /><br />love ...... jaimejaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058450830297300866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-13340253512616506742009-08-06T13:15:23.491-04:002009-08-06T13:15:23.491-04:00My dear Jaime,

Thank you for your kind words, you ar...Dear Yudi, <br /><br />Thank you for your kind words, you are too generous with me :) Actually, the yukata does not feel hot at all. On the contrary, the Japanese kimono and yukata are very comfortable to wear. It may look very restricted with the tight obi sash. Yes, it felt very tight, even painful when you first tie it on, but once your body gets used to it, it is very comfortable and actually can improve one's posture. I love it! Hehe, wanna try one on?<br /><br />love ..... jaimejaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058450830297300866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-44975581183281776562009-08-06T11:48:39.693-04:002009-08-06T11:48:39.693-04:00Hi Yoko,

You will come to Tokyo for Bonodori, I guess you will go to Gosireh too, right? Please enjoy :)<br /><br />Btw, are you the Yoko san who wrote about your Korea trips in Quilt? Yes, I can see you love travelling! Do you know a lot of sisters in Tokyo? <br /><br />love .... jaimejaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058450830297300866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-29370119182305880892009-08-06T11:23:48.045-04:002009-08-06T11:23:48.045-04:00Hi again Karen,

Taiwan was under Japanese rule for 50 years during the world wars, so I guess there is a certain influence. <br /><br />You know what dear? I actually don't know which is worse, 'skin burning' summer heat or the 'ear numbing' winter chill? Hahaha unfortunately, I have to face both in my life :) <br /><br />love .... jaimejaimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09058450830297300866noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-30603234344940737932009-08-06T11:05:29.822-04:002009-08-06T11:05:29.822-04:00Wow Lady,

You are definitely not an ajumma which you always claimed to be (hehe, I know it is from one of your numerous senses of humour). I also spotted you in the third last picture. I love your lilac yukata and hairdo, so neat and goes perfectly with the hot summer night. Just a little curious even though yukata is made of cotton, is it still too hot to wear in summer?<br /><br />I just read about Zojoji and Tokyo Tower in a Japan travel book the other day, and I am so happily surprised to see them in your blog, it gives me a totally different feeling, they are now getting more closer to me and will be vividly remembered by me with the jolly bonodori matsuri and beautiful Jaime in yukata from now on. Thank you so much. <br /><br />love… yudiyudinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-37883964506617311122009-08-06T01:15:04.837-04:002009-08-06T01:15:04.837-04:00Hi,Jamie

From Morioka I'll visit onsen in the mountain area. I hope I'll try to be brave and bathe in the mixed one.<br /><br />On my way home I decided to stay in Tokyo for a few days. This will also be my first visit except for 1 juinor high school days trip and a few business trips.<br /><br />I have plans related to YJ-ssi in <br />Tokyo,but have more plans related to Japanese dance. One of them is to join bonodori. I'll be there from August 15 to 17 or 18,so had checked up where there will be bonodori during the time.<br /><br />You know, thanks to YJ-ssi I began to enjoy traveling again. Yes, there was time I didn't feel like it.<br /><br />Thanks for your wonderful postings always ,<br />love Yoko.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-606802595543717041.post-92122520958814591922009-08-05T22:39:32.576-04:002009-08-05T22:39:32.576-04:00hi hi jaime,

Welcome to my little home. You were Tok...Hi Judy, <br /><br />Welcome to my little home. You were Tokyo in November, did you enjoy the fall color? Sorry I should have explained. Yes, yukata is a cotton kimono. It is worn <br /><br />1. at home <br />2. in the ryokan (Japanese inn)<br />3. in the summer during the festivals<br /><br />Besides the traditional prints, the yukata today can be very colorful with many patterns. Young Japanese people like to adorn their yukata now with lace, pearls, ribbons, stones, matching bags and geta (wooden clogs), complete with a pretty hairdo! Yukata is a big street fashion in the summer, you can see them everywhere. <br /><br />Then there is also the regular summer kimono, which is usually lighter and sheerer, made from high quality materials like silk. They are worn for more formal occasions like weddings or visiting someone's house.<br /><br />Thanks for writing to me, have a nice day!<br />regards ......

Did you enjoy Bonodori with your niece? <br /><br />Thanks for your kind words. Nihon Buyo is very enjoyable but different/difficult. Hehe, an ajumma like me have twisted a few muscles and cracked a few joints along the way :)<br /><br />Looking forward to seeing you in the September events. Please take care! <br /><br />love ....

I had a lovely dinner at BYJ's Tokyo restaurant.<br />I just wanted to thank you for all the interesting things and news you have been sharing with us. I also have a quick question, what is yukata? Is it some kind of Kimono?
