My host Midori is absolutely lovely. She showed me how to wear the Yukata. I practiced on my own twice. She did the final dress. Did my hair. We went for a walk and she took lots of photos of me at the temple, with cherry blossoms, by the sky tree. We had a great conversation about Japanese customs, tea ceremony. Midori teaches tea ceremony and origami too. I just wanted to hug her at the end. We went over time. It probably would have lasted longer, however I had to get to the train station. She pointed out how to get there. She made me an origami crane, gave me a hello kitty souvenir and a kimono dress souvenir. I'm overwhelmed! I would love to see Midori the next time I'm in Tokyo. Thank you so much for the opportunity to meet you and have that time with you.
