@@ackeskywalker8239 The same question for those Versailles noble dresses. How do you put that large stuff on the bowl ? 🤔🤔

I LOVE the cleverness of the Autumn coordination! It gave the impression of the Japanese sweet potato and made me hungry.

You don’t know how much I enjoy watching all of you trying Japanese traditional clothes with so many different styles; I’ve loved Japanese traditional clothing since I started iaido, sadly it’s difficult for me to buy some of these clothes, keep doing this!!!

In my opinion, Kazu looks better on the second outfit and the third outfit. Kazu has very dark hair, dark eyes and light skin...according to the color analysis theory Kazu is Deep, therefore, he can be autumn ( deep + warm) or winter (deep + cool), which means medium colors and dark colors fit Kazu better. I'm a woman, however, I love many color palettes of men's clothes. I like the variety of colors japanese women can wear and I like how well the colors of japanese men's clothes fit each other.

The kimonos looks really awesome! I wished we could buy it here in Germany.

If you have any anime conventions, check there. Sometimes they have people selling Kimonos at Anime Conventions. I got a pair of Hakama from a seller at an anime convention

Last weekend we wrnt to a local Japanese Spring festival! Loved it! My kids wore kimonos

The winter kimono out of all the styles, to me, looks amazing!

Just gotta say it, Thank you for letting all of us experience this, my choice would have been the autumn kimono, cause brown and yellow look great together. Thank you again, Shogo 😁

Love the video as always. Could you please make a video on traditional folk magic in japan. As a celtic witch in scotland, i'm very curious about 魔女 tradition. 🧙

Hey Shogo! Can you please do some videos about japanese architecture? Both traditional and contemporary - how the tradition influenced the modern architecture

I like the spring/autumn one best! I like patterns and striking visual contrasts. So the brown with the mustard yellow obi and the pattern it looks very nice! Man, i couldn't wear hakama, for some reason I think the open sides where you can see the kimono underneath, as well as the obi, strikes me as embarrassing. Must be a western idea about not seeing clothes meant to be hidden, plus if I was wearing a pretty obi like the yellow one or the daruma I'd want it to be seen!

I also love these clothes, it's my favorite combination on this video, it's very aesthetic.💛

That was a great video, what fun! I actually completely agree with the lineup, loved the summer and winter - though I just generally don't like brown/yellow colour pairings, I still liked the kimono for spring/autumn 😁

Sprint/Autumn is my favorite. it has an amazing pattern on the jacket, and the brown Hakama looks great too. awesome colors and style.

Hard to pick all 3 are cool

You've forgotten to pin it. ^^

I love all of the kimono, but I personally would've picked the spring/Autumn, I really liked the design, I'm a sucker for that dark base color with gold/yellow designs. But Shogo your wife is a secret master at wardrobe arrangements, they've all been 5 star

Men's clothing in so many cultures can be so plain. Suits and such are such a bore to me. I'm glad that in japan, men can wear something so beautiful and elegant.

Shame that for the most part Japanese men wear the same boring western suits.

Loved the videooooo

January, 2024. I am in the US, of course, and have just started “getting into” kimonos. I have a hard time finding authentic kimonos, and am really on my own as far as learning about them and the other parts of traditional Japanese attire. It was so fun to watch this video, and now I have to find the other kimono episodes you have previously posted. Thank you!

The kimono is a truly beautiful clothing in my Japanese culture. Its important to wear a kimono due to the season. Thank you so much for the video, Shogo sensei, Harumi, Kazu and Tomoko as well!

They were all excellent. I liked the winter the best, but they were all lovely.

Charming video^^ And very informative as usual!

This is so informative, thank you so much.

Second! Thanks for the upload Shogo

I like the spring and autumn most!

Wow! Those looked amazing! I really like the summer kimono.

This video was funny, beautiful and informative. Thank you all!

Wonderful video! Kazu was such a great model for us :D

I'm a fan of wearing kimono and it's fun to see different colors and combinations outside of really dark colors for men's kimono. I especially like all the obis you guys chose

Such a great family, made for the camera! Thank you

At last some kimonos for men. I really enjoy it. Now, the summer kimono was the most beautiful indeed. Winter kimono was also OK, but the spring was less beautiful due to the brown colour and those patterns. Rightfully Kazu chose the summer kimono. It would be useful if you said about the price of each kimono types and accessories. Anyway, it was really nice.

My favourite was the winter set! I just loved the silver and dark blue tones! But they are all so handsome!! And Kazu looked great in all of them!

Your content have always entertained me. More power and all blessings.

So fun to watch but also educative at the same time! The culture of your country is really spectacular!👌

That daruma obi is so cool ! 🖤

This video was so interesting ! I didn't know there were for different seasons ! I am really in love with Kimono and I love the gorgeous color ! Awseome 😊😊😃😃😃

You look like you are all genuinely having fun... I joy to learn while watching... Summer is my favorite...

The winter kimono is amazing!

Hey Shogo, Kazu, Harumi, Tomoko and little nagi! What a wonderful video!!! Congratulations, Kazu, for being a full member of this tight-knit team! How beautiful you are in a summer Kimono, this blue color really suits you! And this photo of you with the fan... Thank you to the whole team for letting us know about so many traditions of your beautiful Japan! I made a Kimono, a samue, and a Hakama, using sewing patterns from Japan! But how difficult it is to pull off the Hakama knot! But with this beautiful video where Shogo shows us how to tie the ribbon of the Hakama to perfection.... well we're doing... Receive all my deepest friendship

Beautiful Shogo!! Beautiful all of you. Enjoying your channel from New Zealand!! I am coming there one day soon.

I really like the summer set as well.

The summer outfit was my favorite for the coordination of colors and accessories, and it seemed like it could be worn anywhere.

Fun video, thanks! Especially loved the obi used for the winter kimono. 😉 達磨ん より

Kazu, my man....looking sharp!

Love them all!

I like the spring/autumn kimono.

My favorite colors are gray, navy blue, white, and black. So, I love the summer & winter very much. Not that I don't like the autumn one, it's also beautiful. And also, I'm on writing project and really need a reference of green Kimono (& Yukata). I can't help but admire the one you wear, Shogo. Thanks for your videos. It's always educative and well-researched. 💚💙

Thanks for the video, for me it's the winter one since I like those colours better. And so sorry if this has been explained already (Which I clearly missed/forgot about) But do those Haori-Himo have different meanings or are they purely ornamental?

They where all very nice but I think I loved the Winter one the most with the patter on the belt it made it fun.

Thanks!

Hi Shogo, I have a question: Given that modern steel is better these days, do you think a modern katana made with more modern technology (less time to make) and material can be better or compete with what's already proofed traditional made? Thank you.

Cool video

Thank you very much. Winter was my favorite, but it is very unfair because I would wear them all with complete happiness.

Personally I think the fall and spring set was my favorite

Kazu looking like a 18th century emperor......but with a mask and a.....80s hairstyle..... Though the best kimono is winter one.....best undershirt is the grayish one.....best obi is winter one and love those gems 💎 on the kimono holder..... And an absolutely awesome fan.......beautiful blue color on the fan....... 💙 .......would surely buy one for myself IF i ever get to go to Nippon 🇯🇵

The kimonos are all fantastic

Oy Shogo! Love your stuff bro! いってらっしゃい、友達!

To your credit, Shogo, I actually appreciate your consideration for variety in color and pattern (moreso than the sets that Harumi and Tomoko picked out). As a man, myself, I've never liked the expectation of drab and dull coloration in men's fashions. If I was to put together one of these outfits, I would definitely go for patterns and I would have more variety of color in the different garments (though I would probably have the hakama and the collar match, but that would be about it). I would also have a haori, no matter what the season (just in case, because I live in a cold, unpredictable climate), and of course, a haori-himo; a major perk of men's kimono dress. In other words, it would look closest to the outfit you put together, only with even MORE variety.

Kazu-kun is winter-chic. Winter was his jam. 🥇🏆 🇺🇸🤝🇯🇵

I loved the winter emsemble

The kimono are all so beautiful I don’t think I could choose between them.

KAZU LOOKS SOOOO HANDSOME!

I love all of the kimonos. Colorwise the winter kimono is my favorite but I love the Juban, Haori Himo and the fan of the summer kimono. I like all 3 of them.

Thanks Shogo very interesting video , in your traditional wearing to hard so many details , this so confuses how are remember all this stuff in kimono , it's awesome . My favourite set kimono is winter and spring and very like blue fan . I'm so exited Japanese culture is very awesome .

Shogo, thank you for sharing this video with us all. I've enjoyed it very much. I've always wondered what each peace of the Kimono was called and how to pronounce it as well. Arigato Gozaimasu

Kazu, show us your face already, man ! 😂😂😂

Love the way you summon the kimonos Best members of team shogo.....are hinata and nagi.....

Good morning Shogo ✌️😁✌️

My favorite was the winter one with the spring/autumn in second.

My favorite kimono was the winter 👘, because of the colors.

I actually make glass jewelry; I think you've inspired me to make some haori-himo.

I'd attempt this if I wasn't so used to walking around my house in shorts. Regardless elegant as always 😎👍

lol well at least something special for the Shogo fans at the end there huh 😏😅😂 I really loved all 3 coordinations personally, but I see why Kazu chose what he did!

Winter Set🤩

Im so excited to wear that see you tokyo december 2023

Winter was my favorite.

I really liked the colors from the summer kimono. I was just wondering - if you would wear a hakama why tying an elaborate obi knot? Because it isn't visible. And I have to ask: Did you really mean "House riding hakama" for the Umanori-bakama :D?

Shogo actually mentions this in a few videos, but yes he encourages anyone interested to learn about and wear kimono! I can't speak for Japanese people personally but I know that he and others express that seeing the traditional culture enjoyed by westerners helps keeps it alive for both non-Japanese and Japanese people, and that's a really special thing when traditional Japanese culture is at risk of dying out.

Hi shogo, I have few questions to ask: I'm a 6"1 - 6"2 tall big build Asian guy and I hope I will be traveling to Japan next year February 2023. I would very much like to own my own sets of men's kimono. 1. where do you recommend to purchase men's kimono online or physical store in Japan that fit my size? 2. the getta or setta slippers and tabi socks recommend for someone who's in size US12 also will you do a video about those someday about what's the difference of getta and setta slippers? 3. does Men's obi belt have sizes? 4. does Haori comes In different sizes and length?

Out of topic but.. wow kazu is really cute btw

If we would use han-obi is it necessary to fold it to make it shorter like with regular obi?

I loved Spring & Autumn and the Winter kimono was the best but overall it would have be the Spring & Autumn kimono

Dogecoin to the moon 🌙 love ur vids shogo team. Thank u for this 1 too.

I would love wearing the winter kimono because all i just need to do is remove the Hakama and i have a summer Kimono 2 in 1!

Here’s topic that I would very much like to hear from you; Tondenhei; I was wondering what was it like to be one during the first year . My favorite was the winter; especially the Daruma obi

Adding the haori himo to the haori adds flair increasing style points. It's akin to men wearing a tie clip with their tie for pizzazz.

I didn't like the spring/autumn one, but summer was my favorite due to the color coordination.

I like the colour/print of the spring/autumn kimono, but like kazu, i think the lack of haori makes it less ommmpf than the others. I do feel the same with kazu's choice. the summer one don't look summer - it feels very cool but maybe tat's why? u want to see sth cool in summer instead of hot

Honestly, it seems that I have a similar taste as Kazu: I also liked all the kimonos but summer was my favourite, winter was second and spring/autumn last 😅.

The Winter Kimono

Kimonos look good, I think I would be comfortable...a concern of mine would be: what if running full speed is necessary? Will the kimono or hakama stay on and up and tight enough?

i like the summer as well. but can I also wear it without the Haori?
