無料ゆかたレッスン 祇園祭編
今年最後の無料ゆかたレッスンが無事に終わりました！
Thank you to everyone who attended the free yukata lesson for Gion Festival this year!!
今年は7人にお越しいただき、1時間のレッスンをしました。
This year 7 people came and the lesson lasted about an hour.
帯の結び方説明中～ Working on tying the obi...
ゆかたの基本の結び方、蝶結びをしました リボンの形をしていますので、外国の方でも親しみやすい結び方だと思います
We tied the obi into a ribbon shape. This is the most basic and easy to understand of obi-tying methods for yukata. It's easier to tie the obi when you have an idea of what it should look like!
短いレッスンですが、皆様とても上手に着られましたね！！
It was a short lesson but everyone did a great job! Don't they look great??
ゆかたをいっぱい着ていただきたいですね！
I hope everyone has lots of chances to wear their yukata and use their new skills!
レッスンの前までに雨が激しく降ったり、やんだりしていましたが、レッスンが終わったころにはもう降っていなかったです いいタイミングでしたね
Before the lesson there were sudden rainstorms throughout the day, but by the time the lesson was over it was hardly raining at all! There weren't any more downpours for the evening, either. Pretty great timing!
今日は宵宵山、明日は宵山ですね！まだまだお祭りが続きます 是非ゆかたでお祭りに出かけましょう！
Two more days of festival nights before the big parade! Throw on your yukata and go check it out!
私の一番好きな蟷螂山（とうろうやま）を見に行こうかな
I think I'll head over to the "Toroyama" (the float with a praying mantis on it!) and pick up some buggy goods before it's too late...
