Gion Matsuri preperations

I am exhausted. Making sure I'm packed and ready to go for a weekend in Kyoto. Crazy weekend at that- school program is going to the Gion Matsuri. VERY PSCYCHED.
Some sumo videos up on youtube. Still have to comment on some of them {facepalm}

Fried my brain with a frustrating test (text was too small and blurry, we were told two different things, they actually helped people during the test....) and since have been stumbling to get myself ready for Kyoto

I'm ready with my yukata though!


All my goods. Metamorphose yukata and obi. Butterfly accessories (necklace, brooches, phone charm/obi charm). Obi-jime from Claires (who would have thought), geta that barely fit me from Jusco. Mint headbow from Meta, mint bracelet and ring from AP. Mint parasol from AP :P

And the bag that I made. Apparently I do have the patience for hand sewing.



So I'm pretty excited. Some of the trip is structured, some of it is free time. We stay at a ryokan, 4 to a room.
EEEEEEEeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
now to do hmwk and finish packing/gathering stuff.

  1. Your yukata coord looks soooo cute! Can't wait to see pictures! (You'd better take a bunch!) I am soooo jealous of your mint parasol! I want a mint parasol.......

  2. Just had a quick read through and enjoyed hearing your stories. I'm interested in doing the UJP programe at Yamasa and was wondering if you could answer some questions.

    What was the average age of your group? Were there many under 20 or were they mostly older? Thanks.
