Japanese Culture and Japanese gifts ( Hanko, Japanese Traditional Clothing and Accessories ) ⑩　- A Gift From Japan

I went to KAMOGAWA river to have a party under the cherry blossom trees

that are called HANAMI in Japanese alongside  KAMOGAWA river in Kyoto Japan.

We found a cherry blossom beautiful arch and we had a party here.

 

We brought alcohol and snacks and had a good time with my friends.

Hanami” is a Japanese tradition of welcoming spring.
The literal meaning is “viewing flowers” and
Enjoying cherry blossoms is an old Japanese custom (that’s been around for over 1000 years).

Hanami is like a picnic to enjoy the cherry blossoms.
People get together under the cherry blossoms and enjoy food and drinks.
Many people go early in the morning to secure a spot.
Cherry blossoms only bloom for a short time, usually for only a week or two.
Cherry blossoms remind people that life is short and beautiful.
 
The sunset with cherry blossoms was very beautiful.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
I saw a lot of people who were wearing Yukata or Samue.
 
Why don7t you try them when you join events in Japan?
 
 
 

The most widely known symbol of Japanese traditional Summer outfits, Yukata are light and simple long robes, similar to Kimono in their shape but much more informal and easy to wear. They are usually worn during Japanese Summer events such as Matsuri or Fireworks Festivals.

Samue is a traditional Japanese work clothing, made of a pair of trousers and a long sleeved jacket. Loose-fitting and resistant, it was originally used by craftsmen and artisan for its remarkable ease of movement, but nowadays is also very appreciated as loungewear, for DIY hobbies or to simply have a walk with a comfortable outfit. Suitable for every season, it’s also still used by Buddhist head monks as loungewear when they are in the Temple.

 

Samue is loose fitting and it’s comfortable for every body shape.
