It was Kimono Day in Japantown today. The weather was perfect, and truly felt like spring had arrived. Here we see your host crossing the bridge above Geary to enjoy the day.The first performance was very graceful and traditional and sweetly heralded the return of spring.
The kimonos were colorful and springlike. Then came the second performance which was in a word, bizarre. But in a good way. I particularly liked this creature. I have no idea what the creature in red was, but he was fascinating.

JunkThief is your typical Gallic Jew boy born on the Great Plains, went to Gotham and Ouagadougou and Kathmandu before settling in San Francisco's Mission District. Now he searches the dark alleys of that city to find good conversation, Weimar culture and (but of course) the perfect door knob.

Super pics, Junk Thief. I spent some time in Japan and adore all things Japanese. Hey, where's your kimono?
Willow - I brought mine but didn't want to pay the experts the $45 to show me how to wrap it properly.
No kimono for you?
I love these photos.
Salty - And you thought Istanbul was colorful!
