A few more pictures of kids in kimono, a followup from Kids in Kimono: Cute Enough to Eat earlier in the week. The current forecast is for rain on Sunday (when the kimono-clad-kids should be out again), so perhaps these shots are it for this year...

This looks a lot to me like traditional Korean attire, but it could also be a girl's hakama. I don't know.

The reds and greens are blinding, at least on my monitor.
( the boy running up is her brother, as I could surmise when he started pestering her )

As I wrote the other day, we're still waiting for the fall colors to really arrive, but some trees have certainly given us a nice preview. Here's Nijo street, which runs in front of the shrine...

The shrine is just to the left of the traffic light, which is where Jingumichi (“Shrine St.”) dead-ends. That's the street with torii (the big orange gate), thus giving views like this when you stand far enough away and look back toward the shrine.
Wonderful photos! We stop by your site a few times a week to get our Kyoto fill and we’re never let down. I especially like your titles and comments. Very fun! Also, we were upset by your Gizmodo experience, but we’re glad they pulled the post. Thanks for bringin us back to a city we love so much! G&G
I love that “I see you too” shot! A great selection of images again.
The children really are precious. So enjoy seeing them. Captions are perfect, especially onthe “What the..?? (the Geisha-meets-American- Square- Dancer)
I think it’s more like “Japanese trailer-trash Cinderella fantasy meets Britney Spears” —Jeffy
“What the..”
I had always thought Shichi-go-san was to showcase the kids, not the mother or father. This seems to have been lost for this Okaa-san.
