A highlight of summers in Japan is the numerous festivals, especially Bon Odori. Bon dancing is traditional Japanese folk dance - sort of Japanese-style line dancing. The popular garment to wear during festivals this time of year is yukata - a little like kimono, but made of light cotton. Maddie and I got help to get into our yukatas. It's a little complicated.
Maddie and friends:
It was a beautiful summer evening ending with a spectacular fireworks show.
