Jinbei


Jinbei is usually worn as a form of house wear during the summer in Japan. It is kind of a simplified kimono, but unlike traditional kimono, jinbei is a set which consists of a top and matching shorts.
This jinbei set is a gift from my friend Ayako and her husband. When they saw us off at Narita airport, they got one pair of this jinbei for Ayako's husband and one pair for Ronnie. Ronnie likes the jinbei very much. He always wears it at home during summer.



I use the sack the jinbei came in as my laptop case. It fits perfectly. I say I am a genius!
