A lot of the skirts are way below the knee in Kobe, but the girls often pull them right up, so they look shorter. So the lengths vary incredibly actually. It’s quite funny when you realise that short skirts are really just long skirts pulled up to the armpits!

I think the traditional skirts look really cool. They’re a bit like the kilts we wear in my school (in Ireland). OK you get cold when winter first starts, but you get used to it after a few weeks.

Can’t they just give the poor girls pants like the guys?
