Graduated Kimono Class

how to wear Kimono I finished my kimono class. Now I can wear Kimono full set in 15 minutes. Please don't think 15 minutes is too long. We must wear two kimonos at once, tight one kimono with 2 ropes.
Additionally, Obi sash and sash belt, sash ribbon should be tighten. If you bind ropes or sashes too tight, you can not eat anything!

And in the summer season, Tokyo has become really hot and muggy because of town heat, wearing kimono is a kind of a torture. Recently in Tokyo, the temperature become over 33C (90F) everyday!

Attached picture is my Kimono Class Union. Please see beautiful summer Kimono collection!

Hi Mirjam,

Do you use Japanese?

I can be your non-licensed Kimono teacher. Or if you prefer to study from a professional, I will ask my friend, a retired kimono stylist to teach you and I will translate.
