Chapter 141: Visiting Tokyo

Hotels in Tokyo.

Catherine took a shower and walked out bare.

The kimono is ready, and what Catherine is going to change into now is the summer suit.

This is a kimono with furisode, which is considered a formal dress for an unmarried girl, and it is painted with irises.

By this time, Elsa had already read the manual two or three times.

"The first step is to put on a foot bag...... These socks are really weird......"

"That's how the kimono is worn."

Catherine picked up the bag and slipped it over her feet.

"It's exotic."

"And then?"

Catherine asked.

"Put on your kimono and put the sleeves of your undershirt into the sleeves of your kimono. Adjust the back seam of the kimono to the center of the back, and then use clips to secure the shirt with the collar of the kimono. ”

Catherine complied.

Then lift the collar with your hand and adjust the length of the hem so that it does not touch the length of the ground...... Open the kimono and place the front collar at the waist bone to determine the width of the front. It is advisable to align the edges of the kimono with the sides of the body. ”

Step by step, Catherine began to scramble.

"Elsa, come and help!"

Catherine really couldn't do it alone.

In the end, it took a long time, with Elsa's help, Catherine put on the dress, and then, Catherine also helped Elsa put on the clothes.

After getting dressed, put on the clogs again, and it's done.

"Another hairstyle, shall you?" Catherine nature came, but think about her own hair with those weird Japanese hairstyles...... It really didn't work, and in the end, Catherine could only tie a ponytail. And Elsa, she also gave the other party a ponytail, but the ponytail on Elsa's head was made into two by Catherine.

"Here, take a look at the mirror!"

Catherine pulled Elsa to the mirror.

Although Catherine's face is different from that of the Japanese, this kimono on her body also shows an alternative beauty, a bit like the feeling of the characters in the anime that Catherine once watched.

Catherine turned around, and the only thing she was awkward about was the huge "baggage" in the back, which was also a feature of the kimono.

Without this burden behind it, it is the traditional Chinese Wu costume.

However, Catherine strongly suspects that without this baggage, her clothes will fall apart - although this is not the case, but Catherine has seen good boy movies in this way......

Catherine tried to take two more steps, but found that her feet were completely confined and she could only take small steps, and the amplitude was also very small. But because of the experience, it's very easy to walk.

In addition, the kimono is indeed as legendary, and it is convenient to go to the toilet without having to take off your clothes.

It's a pity that my father can't see it -- because the Taiwanese government seems to be taking this matter very seriously, so it sent someone to Japan in advance to meet with Bruce, the group's executive president, and discuss the itinerary for the next few days.

After all, Bruce is the person in charge of the negotiations with the Taiwanese side, while Catherine is more for tourism and soy sauce.

For Taiwan, this is the largest foreign company that wants to enter Taiwan under their new policy, how can it not pay attention to it?

As a result, Catherine and Elsa became two people on a trip, and of course, it was inevitable that a big man in a black suit and sunglasses would be around.

In other words, such a MIB was also inspired by Catherine after she came to Japan. Of course, Catherine didn't know if there were black suits in Japan's current Yakkudo organization.

Surrounded by black, Catherine decided to see all of Tokyo, and the first place she had to go to was the Emperor's Palace.

It's just a pity that because the Allies were not very strong and didn't kill the emperor, tourists can't go to the Imperial Palace now, but can only watch from a distance in the square in front of the Imperial Palace.

The entrance to the main entrance of the Imperial Palace was supposed to be a double bridge. The double bridge is equivalent to the Jinshui Bridge in front of the Tiananmen Tower. However, the bridge was destroyed during World War II and will probably take a few years to rebuild.

The bronze statue of Kusuna Masanari in front of the Imperial Palace, a work of art cast by the Tokyo School of Fine Arts in 1904, reflects the highest level of Japanese casting technology at the time, but in Catherine's opinion, this bronze statue is ...... It's weird. ,

Kusunari was a royalist general in the Middle Ages who made many contributions to the consolidation of the rule of the Japanese emperor, but finally committed suicide at the age of 43 due to military defeat. After the Meiji Restoration, in order to cultivate the people's loyalty to the emperor, the Japanese emperor dug up the historical Nan Zhengcheng and shaped it into the so-called "god of war" that is well-known in Japan, and this bronze statue is also a product of this historical background.

Like the Forbidden City in Beijing, the Imperial Palace is located in the heart of the city, but instead of a square, there is a large pine forest in front of the Imperial Palace, where tourists and locals alike can rest and play.

"Cut, I thought it was a good place, but it turned out to be a dilapidated old house!"

Catherine couldn't help but complain.

"Maybe it was destroyed during World War II?"

Elsa replied.

The two of them walked all the way down the street, attracting a lot of attention, but the group of black-clothed bodyguards made those onlookers dare not approach.

"Forget it, let's change places, Elsa, what other good places are around here?"

"Good place? Let me see...... Sensoji Temple? It seems to be a good place to be. Elsa flipped through her guidebook.

"Sensoji Temple is the oldest temple in Tokyo, built in 628 AD, and it is said that two brothers who made a living from fishing caught a statue of Kannon made of gold one day, and the neighbors thought it was a manifestation of the Buddha, so they raised money to build a temple to worship, and Sensoji Temple was born......

Elsa reads a synopsis.

"Okay, let's go check it out!" Catherine took Elsa by the tuk and went over there.

Sensoji Temple wasn't too far away, but the clothes Catherine was wearing made them walk for a while. Originally, it was possible to ride in a car, but Catherine wanted to experience the feeling of a kimono.

When you come to Sensoji Temple, the first thing you go in is that there is a handwashing station where visitors wash their hands with a spoon and drink some water. It is said to bring good luck and ward off sickness, and the statue on it is sacred somewhere. Although Catherine was not very interested in these gods, she also scooped up some water to wash her hands, but she was free to drink water. Although Catherine believed that the water must be clean, no one dared to guarantee whether the spoons of water that ten thousand people had drunk were clean.

Sensoji Temple also has a reserved item - lottery. But Catherine didn't like that, so she just went out.

The five-storied pagoda next to Sensoji Temple. The five-storied pagoda was first built in 942 AD and has been destroyed and rebuilt several times, the last of which was blown up by the Allies in 1945, and the current one, which was rebuilt in 1949. It is said to enshrine the "Holy Buddha Relic" from Sri Lanka. ”

If it was changed to a Xiuzhen novel, this thing should be a big tonic, right?

For some reason, since coming to Japan, Catherine has fallen in love with complaining, and it seems that this is also a local custom.

Facing the main entrance of the main hall of Sensoji Temple, there is a lively shopping street, where lunch will be held.

Walking into a traditional Japanese restaurant and sitting down on your knees in the traditional Japanese way is also a novelty.

Catherine ordered eel rice.

In fact, Catherine still wants to eat the legendary Ichiraku ramen - unfortunately, this is not a wood village.

"Where are you going in the afternoon?" Catherine picked up the guidebook.

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

"Let's go over here!"

"Kanagawa?" Elsa looked at Catherine in confusion.
