Wearing a Kimono 着物を着る 

Desho? :)

Appreciate it Andrea!

Ah, sadly I'm not! But Kyoto is wonderful so I hope you have a blast :)

Merci as always!

Thanks for watching! And please give it a try :)

Perhaps another time ;)

i'll gladly explain to you what is going on if you want. The piece directly on the skin is a Hada Juban, the piece on top of it is a Naga Juban, which is tied with a Koshi Himo , she is wearing Tabi socks, the Kimono is called a Houmongi, it is overlapped Left over Right panel, the other way around is for dead people, then it is tied with another Koshi Himo, on top of which is used a Date Jime sort of sash and then the Obi itself is tied, the scarf like piece above the Obi is an Obiage, and the cord like belt over the Obi is an Obi Jime, and the shoes are called Zori. There you have it.

Perhaps a topic for another video!

@@Q2Japan that’s a great idea!

Thanks Anushka!

@@Q2Japan how are you doing. Is there any chance you can visit a bow maker when you can?

@@dgundeadforge17 ooh actually I'm looking into that! Waiting on a reply

@@Q2Japan also do you do tours or know people. I will visit and experience japan before i die again. I had a heart arrhythmia that needed 4 defibrillations. My heart is better now actually my doctor said it was a mirical i survived and the unknown heart faliure reversed it self. So i plan on living my dreams.

@@dgundeadforge17 i know a few people who do professional tours! hoping for your best recovery and hopefully once things get safe here n around the world you can enjoy what japan has to offer :)

Definitely a lot of work :)

Thanks for watching!

Sorry! I have no idea! But maybe? 🤔

Glad you think so! :) Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching! Beauty is relative to the culture and times right? :) Cheers

Dear KM, The obi can be tied in many ways and shapes but the Otaiko AKA Drum Knot is the classic look and very much preferred one these days. There are several ways to enhance the wearing of a beautiful kimono by learning to make a variety of the knots, depending on what occassion and place you intend to wear it.

@@TwospotzArtAndCraft thanks for your helpful insight!

It makes her look cylindrical to the outside world, but you could keep a lovely figure with that much reinforcement and posture assistance
