MM Yukata week finishes tomorrow (18th July).

Gion Matsuri (Gion festival) brought us summer, and today was the day of Yamahoko Junko (Yamahoko procession). Yoiyama (night time festival that was on last night) had no rain, we are sure many people had good time there.
Yamahoko were all built as usual even we had heavy rain nearly everyday over here in Kyoto.

Komagata chochin (the paper lantern) made the festival atmosphere nicer.

Now Gion Matsuri is over and also the rainy season has gone too!
We are holding MM Yukata (Japanese summer kimono) week until tomorrow. If you come to museum with Yukata on then the admission fee will be free so please put Yukata on and visit us.
(However you will need to pay for the special exhibition if you are willing to see it.)
