Spring in Mimasaka: Elementary school/ Kimono festival










I took these photos in and around my elementary school and at the Tsuyama city kimono festival. The festival is at Shurakuen Garden, constructed in 1657 to host guests of the nearby castle (津山城-Tsuyama castle). My junior high students made 1000 paper cranes as a "peace offering" for their trip this weekend to Okinawa.
