Yuri is secretly doing...
Yuri is taking a day off today. Do you know what she is doing secretly today?
She is practicing to wear yukata by herself.
Yukata is a kind of kimono (Japanese traditional dresses), and is worn a lot in summer. Especially when we go to summer festivals, it is common to be dressed in yukata.
But the problem is that it is not very easy to wear one by yourself, and that you need a lot of time and practice like this. Usually, mothers and grandmothers teach their daughters how to wear one just like Yuri's mom is doing today.
There will be a fireworks festival in Asakusa on this Saturday. Yuri, Tomoe and I will be dressed in yukata and are practicing hard now. We will take lots of photos and put some here.

When we were there the girls in the group bought a yukata at Kyoto. When they bought it the staff of the mall gave them a HOWTO guide for dressing it.
Then they wore it for the Daimon-ji festival, they were training hard that afternoon in order to wore it correctly. Finally some japanese people told them they put it nicely. Specially the obi.
