Kimono-clad tourists
Two young women taking turns snapping shots of eachother at Heian Jingu, a beautiful shrine in Kyoto.
The vast majority of people we saw in Japan wore modern "western" clothing, but we saw women in kimono walking down the street or on the train more often than I expected. Typically they were carrying cell phones, shopping bags and umbrellas and just generally going about normal daily life.
