#evil year

[tanuki-kimono]

Lively Jūsanmairi shrine visit outfits (seen on and on). I really like how they styled those kanzashi in pair (usually, hairpins of those type are worn alone on left side)

Those special shrine visits done by 13 years old children were in the past a way off countering yakudoshi (”evil years”), special time marks seen as unlucky or difficult. 13 also marked the age when children started to wear untucked kimono, ie “adult” garments.

So, there is no Alves (How did he manage to break his collarbone IN TRAINING?), no Puyi, no Villa, like half of our team is injured, Pep is leaving and what next? 

I don´t like. 

This spring has been terrible. I´m just waiting what will happen next. Maybe asteroid will hit camp nou or something like that...
