Christmas Collection

Aunque Japón no es un país donde predominen los cristianos, lo que se puede notar en las calles de Tokyo es que los japoneses de cierta forma celebran la Navidad en pareja, intercambiando regalos, con una cena especial. Restaurants y shoppings en la noche del 24 están llenos y en varios lugares de Tokyo podemos encontrar motivos Navideños:

 Swarovski version

  Tokyo Disney

Marché de Noel (Tokyo Forum)

Noel´s assistants

Bonsai´s version

Winter-Snow version

Electric version (Tokyo Midtown ilumination)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Kimono Parade!

The kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children.

In Tokyo, kimonos are most often worn by women, and on special occasions, but a few older women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis.

Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, festivals, and other very special or very formal occasions.

There is an annual event in November where you can see:

 A lot of kinds of kimonos,

dancers and local food.

If you are in Tokyo you can enjoy the event “Miss Kimono”

and you can buy beautiful kimonos, obis and other traditional clothes.
