Bon Odori at Kiyomizu
Hiya everyone! Tonight we are visiting a very special event, the Bon Odori festival at Kiyomizu. I have shared prizes from the Kiyomizu Mall's seasonal hunts before, and have always enjoyed the atmosphere of this charming locale. The landmark will bring you to a large tower with drums atop it, surrounded by yellow dance pads that you can click to "sit" which is actually a beautiful dance while moving in a circle around the tower. On the outside of the circle are booths with sales items, gachas, and lucky boards, and once you have danced for 2 minutes (a hovertext countdown bar will appear by your feet) you are eligible to claim any lucky board prize when your initial shows up. Be prepared to hang out and enjoy the music, and claim a bounty of generous gifts :) I recommend bringing a friend to share the fun with, so they can appreciate the festival as well, and company can make things even more cheerful. While I am showing you clothing prizes, there are also home decor items and clever treats like a cellphone that has a HUD with poses and actions. Since I do not read Japanese but have used google translate quite a bit here, I would like to share that the boards proclaim the initial they change to in local chat, followed by a number which is the minutes before it changes again. They are random times that can be as quick as one minute, so you may need to cam around the tower to find your initial in a hurry if you see it in local chat.
My first look is the lovely .:*:.Magnolia.:*:. White Dress prize, and it is a strapless mini with grey foliage around the skirt. The back view is quite similar to the front since that pretty pattern continues all the way around, and the prize is a single mesh size that fit my Maitreya body perfectly so I am guessing it was created for it.
Some of the lucky boards have more than one prize loaded inside to be won, like the **milky-way board. This is one of their two prizes, called 20-05 Mini Yukata kiyomizu LB. A yukata is a summer kimono, and this short version has exquisite details like the intricately tied belt and bow. It comes in a Maitreya size, and includes the geta (sandals) for Maitreya feet.
The other prize from the **milky-way lucky board is the striking 20-06 One Shoulder Sexy Dress Black. It has also been designed to fit the Maitreya body, and has delightful asymmetry with the single sleeve and diagonal hemline, both trimmed in lacy ruffles. You could stick with the black theme and accessorize accordingly, or you might decide to go with colorful jewelry and shoes to add pops of your favorite hues.
This cute shorts set is the [KH] Short Tank Top & Shorts prize from the Korpokkur House lucky board. They are linked to wear as one piece, sized for the Maitreya body. I am definitely a fan of the combination of bright pink with the khaki of the shorts, a bit unusual but in a very good way. That ruffle on the top and the white design are excellent details too.
My final look of the evening is the alluring =CS= Kiyomizu Hunt Prize 2020 Bon Odori, although it came from a lucky board rather than a hunt :) This sexy swimwear has 3 pieces, the top and bottom plus pareo (tied around the hips) that are each provided in sizes for Maitreya, Hourglass, and Physique mesh bodies. The vibrant pink color is a perfect backdrop for the white print of summer treats like fans and watermelon slices, and I am just enjoying all the swimwear I have been finding lately! It is definitely time for a beach vacation for me.
Saturday in the magpie household means a farmers market and lots of fresh foods for the upcoming week, so I would say it was a good day here :) Tomorrow I will be crossing my fingers for luck during a hockey game, which still feels bizarre to happen in August but I am starting to adjust to it. I hope you're all having a wonderful weekend so far, many magical magpie hugs to everyone!!
