Labor of Love


This morning I washed and ironed my favorite yukata. It took a long time and it was very hot to be ironing.

This yukata was a going-away present from Dr. Takeda, one of my good friends in Gotsu City. Sadly, Dr. Takeda passed away in 1994. I always think of him when I wear his beautiful present. The pattern is by Kansai Yamamoto and it was handmade by Dr. Takeda's relatives in Ohda City.
