着物の上の項Back in April, at a junior high school entrance ceremony, many of the mothers arrived in kimono - one of them on a bicycle.
The Japanese school begins in early April, in sync with the blossoming of the cherry trees.
In Kyoto, early April can still be chilly, and school gymnasiums are unheated.
The kimono-wearing women sat ram-road straight, not a hair out of place on rock hard ice-cold wooden benches.
After numerous speeches, it was time for photos.
Then after a short meeting with the homeroom teacher, the day was done.
The woman who came on her bicycle remounted it - awkwardly but surely - and pedaled the mama-chari up the slope towards home.
