Submitted photos for "Okayama, a town that suits kimonos," a public recruitment campaign by the Sankei Shimbun Okayama Bureau, have been published.

And what's more... one after another!

Last time, I submitted a photo for "Okayama, a town that suits KFP Part.1."
It was a scene from my participation in the "Fantasy Garden" at Korakuen Garden.

This time, it's Kurashiki.
It's one of Japan's leading tourist destinations.

On this day, I helped out at "Kurashiki Ennichi Summer Festival," a collaborative event organized by the "Kurakoi Executive Committee" and several other groups.
We worked with "Kimono Roman" in Honmachi, Kurashiki City, to liven up the festival by transforming tourists and visitors to the Bikan Historical Quarter into yukata wearers.
The person in the photo, Suinkyo-san, was very popular and attracted a lot of attention.

From now on, it's the season for elegant kimonos.
I will continue to go out to various places more often,

"Where should I wear my kimono?"

"What kind of combination should I wear?"

I hope my photos will provide some answers to these concerns and questions.
