DO NOT UPLOAD TO ZEROCHAN OR ANYWHERE ELSE. Matsuri - the Japanese word "festival". Whether it's for Spring, Summer, or Fall, one of my favorite types of Japanese pop culture anime art are kimonos & yukata (the so-called "summer kimono"). Saiyuki is no exception and boy does PlatVis deliver!

Three of four, the saru-chan knows where it's at! I agree with Goku! One of the best things in any festival is THE FOOD! He's gotten the staple candy apple on a stick, cotton candy bag, takoyaki, tray, the dangos, and a to go box of take-a-guess at what it is (probably his favorite nikuman?). Let's also take a moment to appreciate the swag of festival prizes he's already got, like the water balloon, the aquarium fishy-in-a-bag and..ta-dah! He's got a monkey mask based on the "Monkey King" of the old school "Journey to West" -- it even has the circlet! How much cute does Goku get?

Monkey is a monkey no matter where he's at! As for Goku's yukata, he wears a sort of denim blue, fitting of him seeing as he tends to favor earth colors and those that contrast with his golden eyes and orange tones as well. But as always, Goku makes his fashion slightly more playful and here he's rolled up his sleeves, as well as that the obi he uses seems a bit more puffier compared to the one Hakkai used.

Now, the real point of interest here are the geta Goku is wearing! Notice anything different? Rather than the flat-raised base, Goku is wearing the so-called "Senryou geta" which has a slanted underside, looks far more sturdier than the ones with "teeth" and whole history behind it. But if you ask me, I think Goku is just using it as a height booster! Goku is the shortest of the four but he wishes he was taller.

If you're going to a festival and need to dress traditional, why not take a little advantage of dressing the part and looking a little taller, right? Silly saru-chan! Don't worry so much about it! You'll still got some growing to go and will get taller! Besides, we all agree the saru-chan is the cute one of the four!
