First day in Japan and I went to Asakusa in Tokyo! There was a shop renting really cheap kimonos and I went to try it out! The lady was very fast to help me put it on, and styled my hair beautifully too. The steps she used was the same as this video! If possible, I would definitely recommend trying out kimonons in Asakusa or Kyoto, but make sure to make reservations in advance!
This really blew my mind. I've been eyeing a specific kimono I fell in love with & wondered what else I would need to wear it properly- wow. I honestly lost track of how many things were tied around the underwire/waist. Getting dressed in America is generally a very simple, lazy endeavor so this was very interesting to watch. Thank you for posting!
@@farradina6291 umm well I think she meant she saw one in America they don't only sell it in Japan yk , tried one but it was very very very simple with only two layer and they didn't need all this hard work and that thing around the waist was ready
Absolutely perfect Kitsuke. Not many people know that you can put a Nagajuban on top of a sosoyoke and hada juban in winter if it is particularly cold. Sure this is not going to be convenient to walk with it but you will be warm. And second, if you live in a rainy or snowy area you indeed raise the hem of the Kimono higher than usually to protect the kimono from dirt and to prevent it from getting wet and you wear a yukimichi over it to protect it. That's a really smart december Kitsuke.
I'm currently using this to properly draw one of my character in traditional Kimono, and it's been very helpful! Beautiful clothing, and actually surprisingly simpler than it seems. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this video! I was trying to figure out how to wear one for a cosplay I am wanting to do, She wears a kimono and I wanted to make sure I was putting it on properly without being disrespectful! Once again thank you so much!
@@puskifromnlp6875 lol I'm curious too but there's way too many anime character that are knowing for wearing kimono like khouka from bungou stray dogs or nezuko from demon slayer
I got 4 kimono and haven't worn them in a while, plan on doing so this winter and totally forgot how to put them on. Lol, I dont' have the under pieces I'll probably look into making some for myself. I really miss living in Japan for the 4 years back when I was younger. Such a lovely country.
The materials are very different in summer, winter, and even spring and autumn. In the summer we wear a light, breezy fabric that is somewhat like lace!
Also keep in mind to make sure you where a kimono that matches the season. The Japanese don't mind that others wear kimono, just that you match the time of the year.
This is a very good comment! At the moment I own about 340 kimono, (mostly from my grandmother-in-law) and they are organized into appropriate month. It's actually fun to open up the monthly box and decide which kimono you're going to wear and for what event! For people who enjoy fashion, it's a delightful and intricate hobby!
@@PaprikaGirl_JP lol! It wasn't for you, personally. It was just an interesting and imporyant detail I learned recently about Japanese culture that I wanted to share. I believe it's important that the more you orient yourself to a different culture ahead of time, the culture shock you experience might not be so jarring. I will not be traveling to Japan for a while, but I hope it helps someone who will be soon. 😊
Just last week I bought two Kimono, two Obi and other stuff for it on a small market at Hanazono Shrine in Shinjuku. The Kimono were only ¥3.000 each and the Obi ¥1.000 each and everything in good condition, so I think (or hope) it was a good deal, regarding the prices in Kimono Stores. Sadly they are both Kurotomesode, so they are not really made for me (a teenager) and I will probably not be able to wear them in Japan or around people with Kimono knowledge, but I just had to buy them and I love black Kimono and am still very happy about them!
I'm an indian girl 🇮🇳, I'm 18 year old and i really love Japanese culture.,,I also want to wear kimono.... I want to go Japan once in my life 🤍... Lots of love 😊
If you all plan on visiting Japan and wearing kimonos makebsure you get one that matches the season you're in in Japan. The Japanese don't mind that foreigners wear kimonos, but they do get annoyed when the kimonos don't match the season. 😊
I read about a group of young women sent from Japan to education in the US, in I think, the late 1800's. Their whole party dressed Western every day, but were so glad (men and women) to get into comfortable Japanese clothes at the end of the day.
Hi I want to say that this is very informative and helpful. Since I love Japanese culture and I really hope to visit Japan, this is a great video. Thank you.
Japan the land of great culture, peace and harmony, I can't explain how rich is Japanese culture same like Indian , Shrines,temples and gardens in Japan are most attractive, so natural ,so auspicious and lovely .
Im japanese, but havent worn a kimono since wearing my great grandmas one when I was 7🤣. And now im here for a costume, but wanted to make some changes for comfortability. Thank you so much!
I’m trying to make a kimono for my cosplay but I don’t wanna make something cheap, I wanna make an accurate kimono. I probably won’t be able to make all the layers because I only bought a certain amount of fabric but I’ll be fine
Very lovely thank you I particularly wanted to make sure left over right that has great significance i believe. I have two gorgeous antique kimonos but do not wear them traditionally since I am not japanese I adapted them to my own style and comfort and had them sewn together in the front like a kaftan and shortened since they were very long indeed...now I can wear them as caftans with or without belts made of the material cut from the bottom or with broader belts from fine silk shawls or just loose....i will wear one tomorrow with jade pins in my hair why not?
Thanks for the video. Now I know how to dress in a kimono. But where would I find the other clothes that go under the kimono (the under garments in that matter)?
My country: India My religion: Hindu (Assamese) My fav place: *JAPAN* I just love Japan and am for sure when I will grow up.. I will go to the Japan by wearing kimono to see the firework festival ❤️ *thanks a lot dear* ❤️❤️
Thank you so very much! It tends to be the case that if you want to wear a kimono, you make the opportunities to wear it. I wear kimono out drinking, while shopping, in lessons, at coffee house meetings, and in daily use.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP Thank you for your reply! Actually, guess what, in the meantime I found Japanese classical dance class in London, and I started to learn how to wear a yukata as well! The opportunity overtook me! :D
Thank you so much for this! I finally understand how wearing a kimono works because I was drawing my character wearing a kimono and I have no single Idea how can I draw them properly. Also thank you for including the 'left over right' thing because I just found out that only dead people can wear their kimono right over left 😁 I just want to ask if kimono can be paired with a hakama? Specifically the pants type hakama? I was planning to draw my character wearing kimono and then a hakama (similar to a Miko). And is it allowed to be paired with Geta Shoes footwear? Or only zori? Thank you again🙏🙇♀️
Yes, you can pair it with a hakama. If you watch Edo-Period films, for example, men almost always wear hakama with their kimonos. Ladies can do the same, although it will give the impression that she does some kind of sport, or traditional, physical art. Feel free to mix and match!
There are many kinds of obi to choose from, but the breadth of your thumb to the tip of your pinky when your hand is stretched out is the best way to gage what suits you. You can choose thinner or thicker breadth based on your personal choice. Some obi (especially older ones) are shorter than others. While a good length to start with is about 3 meters, most of mine are 4 meters in length. You can choose the style of tying your obi to match the length, too.
Yes, it's all a matter of getting used to something. Few clothes are as easy as a sari! This is more like getting dressed in corsets and heels during the 50's, when fashion was more complicated and people got more dolled up. It is not as common in average clothing for youths today.
Any kimono shop will be able to provide the basic set, but the items you'll want and need will depend on how you wear the kimono and what season you're buying it for. Try Tansuya first!
After thinking about it after watching this and other videos I have one question. Why are the kinomo's so long? Most Japanese women are rather petite and they were even much shorter in history. It seems to me that they would be much shorter and would not need to be adjusted so much. They do look beautiful
Kimono are not meant to be bought and discarded the way that pret-a-porte clothes are today - they are meant to be used over a couple generations, so the size of the wearer would vary from person to person. For this reason, the fabric (tanmono) isn't cut to size, but instead folded inwards and upwards. To have excess fabric was considered a slight bit luxurious, too. Only dancers and non-laborers would have such extended pieces way back in the day (150 year ago or more), so often average kimonos were too short to have the extra folds and fabric once they had been passed on to the next generation, which would've gotten bigger. Tanmono in general have a very specific width, although this has gotten wider as the generations have grown larger. But from a western perspective, even the tanmono are too narrow to accommodate most of us - they are made for petit ladies even today.
I'm not sure about shipping to Canada, but here is a link on Amazon Japan. I'll do a bit more searching. www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B013I561XI/ref=cm_sw_r_tw_dp_7D60C844SCPNNNREH5M7?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
O my word. This is just too much clothes. Still want to wear it though. Someone gave me used one. But after watching this video, I realized I am nowhere near the realm thing. Imagine after undressing at you r wedding or of this. My GOD truly is amazing. Would love to spend a few months in Japan - with a traditional family, dress and everything, unmolested.
Hello, I got a question! It would be really nice if someone would answer me. Is it disrespectful to wear „heavy“ makeup? Like thick eyeliner and lashes, would that be considered as disrespectful to the culture and it’s more required to wear a natural look?
Heavy makeup is pretty common with kimono for ageha (gyaru) style, though some girls wear heavier makeup with furisode in general. If you search for “sweet angel 振袖” you can see what I mean by ageha style.
No, not at all. TPO is important (so, heavy makeup is not good for tea ceremony, for example), but everday kimono-wearers can wear whatever makeup and accessories they want. Enjoy it the way you want to! Kimono are not ceremonial garments - they are meant for daily wear. There is no disrespect to worry about.
It's just like wearing a skirt. The only exception is the very formal ones, which have a big thick obi around the middle and can be cumbersome. But still, the concept is the same. Lift and do one's business!
It's rare to find a whole set. Just like a person would buy jeans, T-shirts, underwear, bras, socks and jacket separately, Japanese clothing items are sold separately, too. When you're in Japan, go to a kimono shop, or to a second-hand kimono shop in places like Asakusa. That said, these days you can buy yukata sets online for pretty cheap. Yukata are summer festival wear, much easier to put on, since they're what used to be pajamas! Use a page translator to brows sites like Amazon Japan and Rakuten to find sets you like.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP thank you very much, I was very confused on where to find everything, I thought it came in one set, now I have a better understanding!
Do you mean "without" the obi? Generally, no. But you don't need to wear this kind of obi. Fot casual outings, a half-obi (hanhaba obi) is fine. It's easier to tie, too.
@@GameFuMaster In this day and age, it's acceptable to run around in tank tops, flip flops and shorts. But at the time this was the main type of garment, tank tops and shorts would have been considered underwear, even in the west. It has only been since the proliferation of cheap pret-a-porte fashion that people take no care to their appearance, and choose the casual and quick over the well-kempt. But isn't it nice when you see a lady dressed up in a beautiful outfit, with her makeup and hair done? Isn't it inspiring to see a man dressed well, looking like a million dollars, clean and cool? It takes time to look nice. It makes the environment around that good-looking person look even classier and better, just to have him be there. So the question is ultimately this - a person can choose the quick and the sloppy, or they can choose the time-taking but classy. Both are acceptable, but how they make both the wearer and the atmosphere change makes all the difference.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP well sure, but I mean that's like saying everyday we have to eat like Christmas, instead of eating like Christmas when only during festivities.
I do! :) These days more people wear Western-style clothes than kimono, of course. But people like me who do tea, dance, shamisen and other types of traditional arts still wear kimono regularly, if not every day.
This is a winter kimono, so it's just right for winter. In the summer we have lighter, lace-like layers and yukata, which are made of cotton instead of silk.
Why do men have to have their collar touch their necks, but not women, what about chinese women and korean women, do they do that too not have their collars touch their neck too?
Those are completely different countries with completely different cultures. Their clothing is no more related to the kimono than jeans is. Ask a korean.
+@@truthofthematter4429 No, I'm not asking a korean, but do korean clothes and chinese clothes also have the opening collar on the back neck too as kimonos do?!
In Japan, the nape of the neck is traditionally considered to be a very attractive area of the female body, that’s why it is still exposed to some extent. Notice how geisha decorate their napes when applying the white make-up.
+@@DulceN So the collar that was pulled from the back neck is called a nape, since I couldn't find the exact name anywhere? Do other Asian woman traditional clothes like korean, chinese, vietnamese or others has the nape too? Also I just found out during the old days where only black-gray-white pictures were, the women of their kimonos do not have the nape, they should have it for some who find it weird or do not like it or wants the back collar kimono to cover their back necks from the rain or snow or the cold for comfort, agreed?
So many layers 😮

O my word. This is just too much clothes. Still want to wear it though. Someone gave me used one. But after watching this video, I realized I am nowhere near the realm thing. Imagine after undressing at you r wedding or of this. My GOD truly is amazing. Would love to spend a few months in Japan - with a traditional family, dress and everything, unmolested.
So many layers🤕. Wht people used to do during Summer ?
Less layers, different materials.
Tysm I didn't know how to get mine right
You will! It takes a bit of practice.
How many pieces of cloth were usef
Hello, I got a question! It would be really nice if someone would answer me. Is it disrespectful to wear „heavy“ makeup? Like thick eyeliner and lashes, would that be considered as disrespectful to the culture and it’s more required to wear a natural look?
Heavy makeup is pretty common with kimono for ageha (gyaru) style, though some girls wear heavier makeup with furisode in general. If you search for “sweet angel 振袖” you can see what I mean by ageha style.
No, not at all. TPO is important (so, heavy makeup is not good for tea ceremony, for example), but everday kimono-wearers can wear whatever makeup and accessories they want. Enjoy it the way you want to! Kimono are not ceremonial garments - they are meant for daily wear. There is no disrespect to worry about.
日本の帯は、西洋のドレスアップ時に使用する、コルセットよりも、頼もしい。こちらの動画で使っている帯とは種類の違う、普段着用の半幅帯なども、御座います。
どうぞお試しになってみて下さい。
Hlw , I'm an Indian girl , I'm 14 year old and i really love Japanese culture.,, I also want to wear kimono ..... I want to go Japan in my life ..
After wearing so many layers ,If anybody want to go washroom ,is this easy wear for the same ?
It's just like wearing a skirt. The only exception is the very formal ones, which have a big thick obi around the middle and can be cumbersome. But still, the concept is the same. Lift and do one's business!
@@PaprikaGirl_JP thanks for kind reply 😊😊😊
yes but where do you find the whole set?
It's rare to find a whole set. Just like a person would buy jeans, T-shirts, underwear, bras, socks and jacket separately, Japanese clothing items are sold separately, too.
When you're in Japan, go to a kimono shop, or to a second-hand kimono shop in places like Asakusa.
That said, these days you can buy yukata sets online for pretty cheap. Yukata are summer festival wear, much easier to put on, since they're what used to be pajamas! Use a page translator to brows sites like Amazon Japan and Rakuten to find sets you like.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP thank you very much, I was very confused on where to find everything, I thought it came in one set, now I have a better understanding!
Haven't I seen you in Kanjani8 no Janiben? Jealous!!
That's me! Thank you very much.
Good awesome
"and after tying the OBI, remember that you probably should have used the washroom before putting all these layers on"
It's just like a skirt - just lift and do your business. In the proper facility, of course!
Thank you soo much I can do my un
I lost count
Not to worry, you can try again.😄
I'm obsessed whit Japan everything is Japanese themed for me even if I'm just a simple Estonian :(
I'm just a simple American! And I, too, love these traditional bits of Japanese culture. Let's learn together!
I am going to fry under all those layers (worth it)
あれ！
関ジャニのテレビ出てませんでしたか？？
ちょこっと出ました！
@@PaprikaGirl_JP やっぱり！
説明がとてもわかりやすくて、英語も聞き取りやすかったです！
It's beautiful but after seeing so many layers ..I give up 😅 ...no way 😁
Just a question, can you wear a kimono with the obi??
Do you mean "without" the obi? Generally, no. But you don't need to wear this kind of obi. Fot casual outings, a half-obi (hanhaba obi) is fine. It's easier to tie, too.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP Yes! Thank you so much for the response 😊
but is it right way to wear it since a lot of japan ppl don't like if it's wrong way just asking?
It's the perfect way to wear it. I attend formal tea ceremonies at imperial houses using this method. :)
lol, can't imagine wearing this as an everyday thing
Then it's not for you.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP I mean back when kimono's were an everyday wear, would've been such a hassle to put that on everyday.
@@GameFuMaster In this day and age, it's acceptable to run around in tank tops, flip flops and shorts. But at the time this was the main type of garment, tank tops and shorts would have been considered underwear, even in the west. It has only been since the proliferation of cheap pret-a-porte fashion that people take no care to their appearance, and choose the casual and quick over the well-kempt.
But isn't it nice when you see a lady dressed up in a beautiful outfit, with her makeup and hair done? Isn't it inspiring to see a man dressed well, looking like a million dollars, clean and cool? It takes time to look nice.
It makes the environment around that good-looking person look even classier and better, just to have him be there.
So the question is ultimately this - a person can choose the quick and the sloppy, or they can choose the time-taking but classy.
Both are acceptable, but how they make both the wearer and the atmosphere change makes all the difference.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP well sure, but I mean that's like saying everyday we have to eat like Christmas, instead of eating like Christmas when only during festivities.
God how many layers 😢
Why is it that hard 😭 I thought it was finished at the second part
It's cool but a little difficult 😉
I thought Our Saree was the only toughest Traditional 😂
Womens dress are always tough
@@devu940 that's right, I think that also!
In 8 minutes we can wear Indian sarees 4 times😃😃
Do they do this every day ?
I do! :)
These days more people wear Western-style clothes than kimono, of course. But people like me who do tea, dance, shamisen and other types of traditional arts still wear kimono regularly, if not every day.
Wont it be too hot with so much layers.????
This is a winter kimono, so it's just right for winter. In the summer we have lighter, lace-like layers and yukata, which are made of cotton instead of silk.
It looks amazing but I just wondering how i am gonna pee after wearing this 😅
Same as a skirt! It's no extra hassle.
@@PaprikaGirl_JP Oh than I would love to wear a kimono ❤❤
That's a lot of layers for a kimono.
it’s just the right amount of layers for a kimono.
It is so hard
How do you pee with that's so many layers of kimono strap
Just like a skirt!
Why do men have to have their collar touch their necks, but not women, what about chinese women and korean women, do they do that too not have their collars touch their neck too?
Those are completely different countries with completely different cultures. Their clothing is no more related to the kimono than jeans is. Ask a korean.
+@@truthofthematter4429 No, I'm not asking a korean, but do korean clothes and chinese clothes also have the opening collar on the back neck too as kimonos do?!
In Japan, the nape of the neck is traditionally considered to be a very attractive area of the female body, that’s why it is still exposed to some extent. Notice how geisha decorate their napes when applying the white make-up.
+@@DulceN So the collar that was pulled from the back neck is called a nape, since I couldn't find the exact name anywhere?
Do other Asian woman traditional clothes like korean, chinese, vietnamese or others has the nape too?
Also I just found out during the old days where only black-gray-white pictures were, the women of their kimonos do not have the nape, they should have it for some who find it weird or do not like it or wants the back collar kimono to cover their back necks from the rain or snow or the cold for comfort, agreed?
@@DulceN I now understand why eren yaeger was obsessed with titan napes.
that's like 7 belts??? "Simple" is already difficult to me, I wonder what "complicated" would be.....
How do you pee in it??
The same way you would a skirt.
