One of my favorite things about this country is the fact that the culture is so rich. There are so many aspects of Japanese culture that are still so prevalent in people’s daily lives. This picture was taken at my school’s club activity, tea ceremony club. As you can see here the girls are wearing yukatas (summer time kimono) and seated on their knees. All yukatas have a lot of vibrant colors, perfect for summer time. I really enjoyed going to tea ceremony club because it taught me a lot about the meaning behind the ceremony, and because I looooove matcha!!
