Hakama

March is the season for graduation.

Especially at the beginning or middle of March, Japanese universities and colleges have graduation ceremony.

At the ceremony, many female students wear “Hakama” as formal wear.
“Hakama” is a pleated skirt worn over Kimono. This is a traditional formal wear in Japan.

Now various colors and designs attract a lot of girls in this season. When you walk around cities, you may find some girls wearing Hakama and let’s say “congratulations!” to them.

Nice to meet you!

Hello, guys.

My name is Miyuki.

I’ve been working as an English tour guide for a while, specializing in Japanese Pop culture

like fashion and anime.

In my free time, I enjoy shopping, watching movies and travelling.

In this blog, I’ll introduce “Japanese Pop fashion”.

It’s fun to see girls wearing unique clothes in Tokyo.

We can get the information from magazines, TV, and on the Net.

Now, around 100 or more fashion magazines are published in a month.

The models have a lot of influence on Japanese girls and women.

We like to have the same clothes with them or arrange the items in our own way.

Anyway, such magazines could be one of the sources to get the new information on fashion.

Personally, I get the information from some of them, so let’s share them in this blog!

From next time, I’ll write about some pieces of them.

See you soon!

Miyuki Onishi
