@@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 :)
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.
What is that thing that goes after the obi? What are those ties called? Do these things come with kimono, sold as a set or are all sold separately? That’s a lot of items to remember. Why is it all necessary?
The fabric patterns and materials are so beautiful. What I don't really care for is the silhouette that a kimono gives. It makes a woman look like a cylinder. There is no waist definition at all, and why does the obi knot have to look like an oversized backpack?
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.
Kimono was introduced by Korean monk as funeral clothing in plain tan material color which Japenise copied it to make it into their own clothing with coloring because they had none.

Haruki Murakami. Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman.Knoff.
Très joli.
This would have been much more interesting if there was someone narrating the video explaining each piece as to how and why it is worn.
Perhaps another time ;)

Very professional. When I come to Japan I hope you are located in Kyoto.
Ah, sadly I'm not! But Kyoto is wonderful so I hope you have a blast :)

Perhaps a topic for another video!
@@Q2Japan that’s a great idea!
Can I go to Kimono Japanese Activities in Grants Pass Oregon?
Meet Japanese Individuals and Community or Japanese Local Society of Grants Pass Oregon.
Sorry! I have no idea! But maybe? 🤔
❤️🇧🇷❤️❤️
Thanks for watching!
Splendid look but so many trifling strings.
Definitely a lot of work :)

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

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