Asakusa Diary - The Staff Blog

The 'Sanja Matsuri,' the one of the biggest festivals of mikoshi (portable shrines)
is coming up next weekend (May 14-16) at Asakusa!

On the festival, people wear a Japanese traditional clothes, ''Happi.''
During the Edo period, fire fighters, carpenters and plasterers wore happis as a working uniform.
Today we usually put them on festivals. Men and women of all of ages can wear a happi.

This is our original happi.


They look more handsome with the happi, right?

Come here and take your photo with our cool happi and feel the Japanese Matsuri spirit!
