I remember this day in Japan. I was four and a half and it was my first time to try on a kimono. I loved it! I felt like a Japanese princess and posed and posed in front of the camera. Of course I had no idea how to pose in a cute way so I just did what I thought was cool... putting my hands together like a Buddhist priest on the majority of the pictures. This is one of the rare ones my dad managed to snap while I had my guard down... sneaky!!
My grandfather is sitting next to me. He was such a good grandfather and even though he passed away many years ago I remember so many details about him. Even how his clothes used to smell. I liked that smell.
