Tenjin festival in Osaka

大阪天満宮(http://www.tenjinsan.com/tjm.html)A lot of night stalls were exhibited on the approach to the Tenjinsan. Apple candy(りんご飴), takoyaki, chipped ice(かき氷) etc...
Many many people were looking fireworks at Tenjin bridge. Almost women and girls wore Yukata and some men and boys wore yukata. I like wearing yukata so I wear it every summer festival. But it is slightly troublesome to wear a yukata:( And arranging hair too.




Dancing and singing on boats.

Xinyi Folder さん、

こんばんわ。

何かと心躍る季節ですね。
浴衣を着ている男性は、最近増えたけど
まだまだ少ないような気がします。
粋に着こなして夏を楽しみましょうね~。
