Hurisode☆

This year, I’m twenty years old. I was born on June 4 in 1989. In Japanese, we take part in SEIJINSHIKI when we are twenty years old. Europe doesn’t have the event such as this. It is one of the most important events in Japan. SEIJINSHIKI holds at each area in January. It holds around the country, and it is big event. It is celebration for people who come of age. Mass media broadcasts the event. Men wear suit or HAKAMA. Women wear HURISODE that is Japanese traditional cloth. It has various color and design. Though it is very beautiful, we may be feel little tire because tighten an obi around our trunk. We can sit with a straight back when we wear it, so we may be look more beautiful than usually. Dressing is difficult, and we are worn it expert in KIMONO. We also go to beauty salon, and we have our hair set for SEIJINSHIKI. SEIJINSHIKI is precious big event. We feel happy, so thankful to our parents, teachers and friends.

I was exiting because it was first time for me to wear HURISODE. I got up early in this morning. I went to beauty salon near my house. My mother gave me her HURISODE, and I wore it. My older sister also wore the HURISODE. It was very beautiful still then, and I like it very much. It was my favorite HURISODE. My obi and my sister’s obi were different. I was surprised because it has different mood. It changed only obi. I thought that HURISODE has a lot of savor. In the salon, I had my hair set for MAEDORI. MAEDORI is taking some picture in commemoration of SEIJINSHIKI. It will remain forever. I watch some picture in the hair catalogue, and I selected my hairstyle. It was simple and cute. Then, I had my hair set in as the sample. I also had my face make up. I was looking forward to wear HURISODE then. After it was finished, I went Japanese- style room in the salon. Then, I wore HURISODE at last. Some towels and string used when wore it. I felt little tire because tighten an obi around my trunk. It took about twenty minutes, and I was fully dressed. My mother came there, so she looks happy. I felt happy too;) I will were it again on January 10, 2010. SEIJINSHIKI will held in my city. I’m also looking forward to see my old friends and my former teachers. I’m very happy because I grow up!
