Dressed for summer

The real summer heat has taken hold here in Tokyo. Even at 5 in the morning it's like stepping into a sauna when you walk outside. Luckily, Elena is already equipped with the right clothes for the heat: a jinbei. It's a kind of traditional Japanese clothing worn by men & children during the summer, usually made from hemp (right on!). She got it from her grandma.



The little white things in the design are actually rabbits.












Ahh, so relaxing.
