Artist's Comments

So, since it is summer time in Japan - many girls/young women, as well as some men, have started wearing yukatas. Yukatas are summer kimonos, made of a cloth that is light, so as to keep people cool. As I was walking around the Kyoto shopping area, I came across the KFC and saw Colonel Sanders wearing a yukata and holding a watermelon (traditional Japanese summer food). So I took a picture. In the background, you can see a Japanese Senior High School student walking away.

This really made my day. ;o;

I love it and I really have something more to look forward to if I ever make it to Japan. XD;
( Like the green tea ice cream isn't enough? :O )

I'm glad you liked it! :) I am sure you'll make it to Japan. And not only is there green tea icecream... they have sakura (cherry blossom) icecream too. And mixed together... oh so great.

No, I sadly missed Gion Matsuri due to mis-reading the days. So I didn't get to see it. Ah well.
