Miko

In February 2008 I went to Katsucon, a local anime convention.  I picked up this Miko outfit (a Miko is a temple maiden) and I wore it to Farpoint (a sci-fi convention) the next day.  Here are some pictures that I took of the outfit when I got home.

How do you like my new outfit?  The "pants" are called Hakama and can be either pants style or skirt style.  Crimson is a very common color for Miko!

I do believe the sun is coming out.

A real Miko rarely lets her hair down in public!

This is traditional for a Miko.

There, I don't want to ruin my fair complexion!

The traditional hair style usually includes some variation of a pony tail... like in the earlier pictures!

A nice piece of photoshop work from Kigurumi-Kenshin!  I am in the Cloe mask and Kenshin is in the Natori mask.

Allthough the style does vary considierably from one temple to another.

This jacket is a HAORI, although typically a Miko would not wear a black one!

This one is for you Andy!  What do you mean I do not look Japanese?
