| Oiran after taking off the shoes |
At the Susukino festival there is always an "Oiran parade", where two women dressed as
oiran (to Westerners: "geisha") walk down the street. The have kimono belts that way 20 kg or so, and they have shoes that are 40 cm high or so. They also have to walk in a very difficult way, and they have huge entourages of servants.

This year, it was raining very heavily. In fact, it rained so heavily that the oiran gave up, took off their shoes and walked normally.
