Its Tanabata and the fashion at Disney is Yukata of course! It really makes a wonderful atmosphere to see people using more traditional dress as an everyday piece of clothing. Top marks to those who mixed Japanese cultural trends with Disney trends. I have highlighted my favourites from the Tanabata festival at Disney. Kids, young girls and guys all wearing yukata around the Disneyland and Disneysea parks.

I wasn’t sure how the footwear (geta) would work with the rides – but maybe its not a problem. In the background of this snap you can see a guy waiting for the parade who is dressed in a yukata.

These two combined the yukata look well with their park passes round their necks. Excellent tanabata fashion!

Yukata through Disney

This one was my favourite! We were in the queue when I snapped this – it was raining and the focus decided to catch the rope! but nonetheless I love the choice of colour for this yukata – so pretty.

Good style

It was a bit windy but the yukata look was just perfect

The Tanabata wishes (tanzaku) were placed here at Disney – can you see the castle in the background? Isnt it wonderful that the Japanese cultural aspect of Tanabata is captured with the Disney theme of wishes. Yes – the tanabata wish was written on a Mickey Mouse face. It was a great way to celebrate Tanabata.

Finally the best of tanabata yukata at Disney – this lady with long hair and Mickey and Minnie Mouse attached to the sash!

But it seems that I was not the only one picking up on the tanabata theme in Japan. I just read Muza-chan’s tanabata review. This blog has excellent photographs and provides a different perspective on the 2009 Tanabata celebration.
