It was a strange weather again. First it was fine, but rained and became fine. It was not so cold.

We ate rich breakfast, simple lunch and nice dinner.

There was the Kimono Fashion Festival in Kaga at Noto Engekido (能登演劇堂), performing art center. It started at 1 pm and ended at 4:30 pm or so. First part is kimono fashion show which consisted of 12 scenes, second part was Yoshida brother's Tsugaru shamisen (津軽三味線) performance.

I wore Oshima swatou (大島スワトウ) embroidery at the Scene 1 and Kinsai yuzen (金彩友禅) at Scene 9. Both were blue and beautiful.

It was slightly raining, but became fine, then rained again, and became fine again.

I came to Wakura onsen (和倉温泉) by express train and to the venue of rehearsal by bus.
This is the fourth kimono fashion show, so I met many model friends today and have become some new friends too.

At night we came to Kagaya (加賀屋) which is said to be the best Japanese style hotel.This is the second time for me stay here. It is like a museum.
I enjoyed delicious foods and onsen (温泉), hot spring.

A new month has started.
December is jyunigatsu (十二月) or shiwasu (師走) in Japanese.

I can't believe there is only one month left in 2017.

In the morning I visited two shrines, one near my house, the other near my office as a custom of the first day of the month which is called "Otsuitachi mairi (お朔日詣り)."

After work I went to Tokyo station to get on the Hokuriku shinkansen. My destination tonight is Kanazawa. I took 19:24 train arriving at Kanazawa at 21:55.
To my surprise it was full.

I ate seafood sushi for dinner.

It is slightly raining here in Kanazawa.
