Sarashi Fundoshi and Kimono

While the coverall from a few blogs ago was a costume I had hanging around the house, this kimono is not a costume.

I purchased it from Yukata Kimono Market Sakura in Japan.  No, I wasn't in Japan...I ordered it from the link. The transaction was quite smooth and easy, but again, ordering from foreign countries does have certain risks and 'your mileage may vary' as they say.

In the shoot, I am putting on a hanjuban, yukata kimono and an obi. I purchased this, along with sandals to go to my local cherry blossom festival. 

This year was a little different as I have never worn a fundoshi under the kimono. Somehow, it felt correct!

On to the rest of the photos....
