Adriana (from Romania) and I went to Unryu-in temple today.
Unryu-in temple is located at the top of the hill,so we had to go there by taxi.
Today special kimono exhibition is held in this temple.
Varieties of kimonos are exhibited in this temple today.
These kimonos are used by many Japanese famous actress in Japanese historical TV drama.
During this event,we can also put on one of these kimonos,if we pay another 500 yen,
so Adriana decided to try it.
It must be exciting experience for her,bedause it is her first trip to Kyoto.
It is really a memorial day.
She looks fabulous in her beautiful kimono.
There are so many kimonos,so it was difficult to chose one.
She looks gorgeous!
This is a ship from Spain or Portugal in Edo era.
These are all embroidery.
Westerners are vividly described.
This is Japanese-style room in the temple.
The garden is also beautiful.
It was an experience, indeed! I have never dreamed to be able to wear a kimono, not to mention such a splendid one!
