A kind of conversation that’s quite possibly as common as their kimonos are uncommon.
Mr.Satyre says
“So, you woke up in a kimono, too, eh?”
“Yes! And so did she!”
“Me, too!”
“How extraordinary!”
Lee says
I was thinking more along the lines of:
“Who did?”
“You know very well who did.”
“No…, she didn’t.”
“She did.”
“When?”
“Last week.”
“No……..”
Mr. Satyre says
LoL
Lizzy says
Simply stunning. 🙂
Lee says
Thanks!

What’s with the little “coats” over the kimono? Kimono are anything but “a light article of clothing,” and since one oba-san has a parasol, the sun was obviously shining.
That one in the middle can only be described as scary looking. Wouldn’t want to get caught by her with improperly sorted trash.
Lee says
Rain was forecast for later in the day. That’s the only explanation I can come up with.
And I agree. A woman not to be messed with.

Great shot!
Yeah, never seen coats like that before, they look very specifically designed to be worn with kimonos. I wonder, how they look like from the back… (usually regular coats leave ladies with a weird bump on the back, where the folds of the obi are).
Anyhow, brilliant capture, they are so immersed in their conversation 😉
Lee says
Thanks!
Pretty sure there’s still the bump at the back. Seen them worn a few times, but it always seems such a shame to cover the kimono underneath.

The ladies on the right and left sides of picture are wearing Japanese rain coats over their kimonos. The weather forecaster must have predicted so rain as I see the lady at the rear has her umbrella open.
Lee says
Yeah, rain was predicted for later, although when I took the picture it was lovely and sunny.

Kashimashii? 姦ã—ã„。。a bunch of ladies having a yarn…
Lee says
Perhaps uwasabanashi (噂話)? A good gossip?
