Today I met a shopgirl at a pretty specialized store.

The store sells Japanese clothing and goods, which isn't really uncommon here. But what I was looking for is a yukata, which is a summer kimono. It's lighter than a typical kimono and used for all the summer festivals.

Unfortunately for me, all the sizes were in the metric system and I couldn't figure out anything. The sales person was super nice, and apologized for handing me the wrong size. The store wasn't busy at all, so it kind of makes you wonder how stores like that stay afloat throughout the year.

Pro-tip: she told me that there are more prints at the beginning of the season, but I don't anticipate ever purchasing another one.
