 The traditional Japanese summer garment, the yukata, is a common sight during festivals in Japan, but it's a bit more unusual to see them at fleet activities yukosuka. Today we're having like a cultural exchange between the ladies here that are working or living on the base. Then we brought our students here from Yoyogi, Shinjuku, to do hair, makeup, and kimono. This is the first time we've ever done something like this here on base, and it's been wonderful. Oh, it's so nice. I feel like I can really endow myself with the culture I get to experience, but I didn't realize how many pieces go into it, how much work it takes. I said, hey, this sounds amazing. Let me try it out. I am having so much fun here. This is so great. I mean, who doesn't love to be pampered for free? After the fittings, participants had the chance to memorialize the moment and experience this important piece of traditional Japanese culture, petty officer Jacob Allison, yukosuka naval base, Japan.
