Japanese Kimono and Indian Mehndi Design

Megha's Mehndi Design

Amelia's Japanese Kimono

Megha's mum drew a traditional Indian  design using Mehndi paste, on Megha's hand.   Mehndi designs are drawn for festive occasions, such as weddings, religious events and traditional ceremonies.  The designs can also be drawn on arms and feet.   Almost all brides have mehndi designs applied to their hands, wrist and feet to look attractive, stylish and beautiful.

Amelia's Dad went to Japan when Amelia was younger.  He brought her back a Japanese kimono and sandals.  Kimonos are traditional Japanese dress and these days worn on special occasions.  Kimono are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right and tied at the back with a sash called an obi. Kimono are generally worn with traditional footwear which resemble jandals or sandals.
