Jidai Festival&Tea ceremony
It's Culture day today and we had Jidai Matsuri in Asakusa.
It is an historical parade that recreates Tokyo's history and culture.
The parade started from Sensoji temple and we could enjoy watching
a lot of people who were costumed or dressed up like these pictures as follows.

↑Even foreigners joined and enjoyed this parade.
↑And bow low to express their respects and gratitude for Kannon.
At Sakura Hostel, we held tea ceremony after the festival.
This time, about 15 guests joined us.
To be surprised, all of them except one guy could drink Maccha(thick tea).
I remember the last time, some of the guests couldn't drink it because it's very bitter.
I was a little bit nervous to make tea in front of them...
Though my explanation was not good enough, they tried to understand. Thanks!!
