Happy Japa-ween!
Konnichiwa, everybody! Sorry I havent' been online for a while. I've been doing all kinds of stuff. But mostly, I really haven't had anything to get online about. Plus, I'm in love with Indiana Jones. (Indiana Jones is a nickname for somebody.) I finally finished my artwork to go to a college show for High Schoolers. I've also started a journal for Japaneses Language and Culture to help me for my college class. Hopefully, I'll get to go to Japan one day.
Today is the first day of Japa-ween, a one week holiday that I made up in my sophmore year because I was reading a scary Japanese book. I've resurrected it this year as a project for my Japanese journal. (I know. I have no life. Each day is something different that deals with Japanese culture with a tie-in to Halloween. So without further adieu, here is the first day of Japa-ween!
Japa-ween Day 1: Kimono Costume Day.
This day you make your own costume, preferrably Japanese Dress. There are two types of Japanese Dress: Modern and Traditional. Modern is what the Japanese wear today, based on what western cultures wear. Traditional is what we picture when we think of Japan: Kimonos. There are many types of kimonos. Men used to wear hakama (Inuyasha pants). There are many different types of kimonos for women to wear. Some are for specific age groups, some are for all. (My favorite is the uchikake, the wedding kimono.) Black kimonos with the family crest are worn for funerals. Today, kimonos are usually worn for holidays or festivals.
Have a great Kimono Costume Day! Dewa Mata! ;^-^:V
