2. HAPPY COATS
If you've seen a Japanese festival like an Obon Festival, you will probably
noticed some people wearing these happi coats. They are straight-sleeved
cotton coats generally worn during festivals. Taiko (Japanese drums)
players will often wear these. Sushi chefs and servers may sometimes wear
them too.
This origami happi coat can be used as a decoration in front of a greeting
card.
