I am a Japanese girl!

I went shopping with my mom at Kimono store today.

I wore Kimono because I love Kimino:)

When I wore Kimono, I am glad I am Japanese.

Do you like Kimono?

Japanese women have pride in Kimono.

Which Kimonos do I match? Tell me your answer:)

This flower is called "Gekka bijin" in Japan.

It means "a beauty in the moon" because this

flowers bloom only 4 hours in summer night.

A design of Egypt in Kimono.

Mr.Nakaji is a designer of those Kimonos.

His name is Gakuryo Nakaji.

He is painting flowers for us.

He gave me a message.

"Dear Maki, I am glad to see your lovely smile.

I hope you keep your lovely smile. 9.22.2006"

He painted it for my mom.

It is flower of July because her birthday is July 4th.

He painted it for me.

It is flower of November because

my birthday is November 7th.

(My birthday is coming soon! I will become 22!)

warm me and make me happy!

I like to collect some socks lately.
Do you have some funny socks?

I painted my toe nails in summer but I cannot put on
sandal in autumn and winter.
I think it is good to put on funny socks in that season
because it warm me and make me happy:)
Awesome!!

Pencil socks
Cat socks
