穿著和服、踏著草履在街頭漫步,是京都之旅最特別的體驗。租借服裝的店面位在八坂神社附近,店裡掛滿了五顏六色、花色各異的和服。
協助我穿和服和做頭髮的姊姊因為喜歡和服文化,從美髮科畢業後獨自來到京都工作,她說這裡台灣客人不少,有機會她也很想來台灣看看。我們用簡單的日文和英文聊著天,同時她也俐落地幫我層層套上布料、綁好腰帶、完成編髮。
整理在京都所拍的照片,彷彿再次體驗一路上所有視覺、聽覺、味覺的美好,在這個尚不宜旅遊的時刻,就讓照片陪我過過乾癮吧。
Wearing Kimono (traditional Japanese garment) and Zori (Japanese sandals) was such a special experience of my trip to Kyoto.
Covering me with layers of fabric, and finishing the look with a braided hairstyle, staff at the rental store were really efficient and professional.
Looking at these pictures brings me back to the good old time when travelling was possible. As for now, let's just savour the memories and keep on hoping for the best.
