I think it would have been nice to try once, but I don't think I would feel comfortable wearing it, since I'm not Japanese. It's almost like bunad, which we wear on special occasions in Norway. If the person wearing it had a connection with Norway, for example if they are Norwegian, or have lived here for a while, I think it's nice that they wear it, but if they are just tourist and wears it, it would feel a bit like a costume. I hope I don't sound judgmental, I think it's nice if people want to wear bunad, but maybe a bit weird if they don't have any connections to Norway and just want it to be a part of an experience. So I would probably just wear my normal clothes, even though I think traditional Japanese clothing are really beautiful.


Make tea, not war
