Kimono

On Sunday, I went to the party of giving conferment, which is given by emperor, for a ex-Diet member. My cousin and I had to give him a bunch of flowers so we wore a kimono. My grandmother can help us get dressed very well and our kimono are very old. They're used since our mother was a little child.
I like to wear kimono and it makes me happy. I've been dancing traditional Miyazaki dance since I was born and I've worn a kimono as a Okame-san for 16 years. When I danced it for the first time, I was a 4 years old. That's why I love kimono.
This day, the party was from 11:00 am so I went to my grandparents' house at 9:00. She dressed my cousin and I. I wore earlier then went to the hotel first then I took with my father. He was in the work time but he came to see us. The man standing right to me is my father :) He is really nice☆
I'm not sure that you can see but our kimono has swallowtail and that's because, our family emblem is swallowtail (butterfly).
At all events, I had a good time this day and was really happy to wear kimono :) Next year has a coming-of-age ceremony so I'll wear it again. I'm looking forward to wearing it again.
