BIRDS OF HAPPINESS


Japan is a beautiful country filled with culture and tradition. In Japanese folklore, the crane is a mystical creature believed to live for a thousand years and represents good fortune and longevity. It is referred to as the “bird of happiness”.  Japanese kimonos are both a traditional art form and a piece of clothing. Today Japanese people rarely wear kimonos in everyday life reserving them for special occasions. However, it is very common to see tourists in Kyoto rent a kimono and spend the day strolling around in it. These young women in Kyoto are surrounded by happiness.
