 It is July 19, 1903 that "Le Tour de France" done in Europe was done first now. There is a history for 100 years or more.

 When I started the cycling, the thing where the player that Belgium named Eddy Merckx is terribly strong existed was recalled.

<down> Piste racer whom Eddy Merckx  handled when it challenges hour record in Mexico, and new world record is achieved in 1972

Le Tour de France is going on at France and the surrounding nations right now.

I am looking forward to watching this race every year.

Because the bicycle race has few pleasure for other races.

I think bicycle race is for the human being and the human.

Le Tour de France is until 25th of July.

If you have not see, You should see it!!!

Do you have YUKATA?

YUKATA is Japanese summer KIMONO.

YUKATA are one of the seasonal charms of summer in Japan.

I bought SAKURA(cherry blossom) printed Yukata last month.

Today I will tell you how to wear it.

 Put your arms through the sleeves.Then spread your arms with your hands holding the cuffs so that yhe back seam should line up with your spin.

 Left hand holds the edge of both collars up and right hand holds the back seam up at the same time.

Lift to the hem comes to slightly below your ankle, which is the proper yukata length.

As the picture wrap the right side around your body.(lift the hem corner 10cm off from the floor.

Keeping the right side on your body,wrap the left side over the right side.（the left side hem corner 5cm off from the floor）
Keeping holding both sides, place a sash belt called koshihimo sash 2cm above hipbone on your body.

Wrap the koshihimo once.（cross the koshihimo sash at a bit above your waist on your back. See the picture)

Pull into the koshihimo sash through between the wrapped koshihimo sash and yukata then tie fastenly. The protruded koshihimo sashes are tucked in the wrapped one.

Now, check the hem of right side, left side and back side are proper length.

Smooth out the wrinkles pulling the protruded.

The protruded covers the koshihimo sash and no wrinkle is there.The collar is adjusted.

Insert kimono belt from the left opening under the sleeve. Clip the one side on the collar of right side at under your chest.

The other end is pulled out from the left opening under the sleeve, wrapped outside yukata and clip on the right collar.

Gather all wrinkles to both sides.

Place a datejime belt just under your chest.

Wrap the datejime belt once.（cross the datesime belt as the picture on your back）

One of the datejime belt is folded down diagonally.

Fasten at the both sides and tie at the center front. 

Fold the both ends of datesime belt back on itself.

Tuck them in between yukata and wrapped Datesime belt. Finish.

Enjoy your summer with yukata!
