Dress up in traditional clothes

by MikeAtSea

One of the traditional highlights of my visit to Shimonoseki was dressing up as a Samurai. This lenghty procedure enabled me to see how the strong the link of tradition is and to learn about this important way of Japanese life. It took almost an hour until I had the Samurai gear on and imagine a 1,95 m tall Samurai standing in the port of Shimonoseki. :-)
