Today at work we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the sister city relationship between Kyoto (Japan) and Boston. The mayor of Kyoto was there, as well as other notable types. Kyoto gave us some wonderful gifts, including a number of child-sized kimono.
The kids all looked really cute, but of course they hadn’t changed their shoes. I I just loved the juxtaposition of the traditional Japanese outfit with the oh-so American footwear.
Absolutely loved our trips to Japan. Gotta love the Japanese kids with the sneakers!
