Today, many people may have the image that kimonos are worn by women. However, the truth is that men's kimonos also have a long history and depth. Let's learn more about the appeal of men's kimonos by visiting one of the few kimono shops in Kyoto that specialize in men's kimonos.

I felt the exact same way as that kid in the video. I never thought mens Kimonos 👘 would have so much colors. I’d like to buy a kimono 👘 but the problem is I wouldn’t know how to put it on. How can I learn to put it on?
The designs on the fabrics are absolutely beautiful from an artistic standpoint
Thank you for showing men's kimono and that the key to men's kimono is in the subtlety. Men's kimono isn't as flashy and bright as women's kimono, but brings more subtle combinations of colors together. Definitely agree with you on the lack of attention on men's kimono, so thank you and Kazu for showing the subtle beauty of men's kimono. Please continue to show that so men don't have to feel like an afterthought when it comes to kimono.
This is as important as choosing the right suit, and the prices are comparable to a bespoke suit, as well. Interesting to see how subtle changes have a dramatic effect.
It was so nice to see the manager show you the combinations that worked well together. I feel i have difficulty finding things that work well together for the seasons, because all i see are colors and patterns, not necessarily do i know what patterns should go together.
The lady definitely knows how to combine colours. Way to go!
Some of those fabric patterns were really impressive! I'm grateful for the prevalence of hemp and cotton used as well, insomuch as I am vegan, so I avoid silk and wool and leather for example.
I think a man dressed in a kimono is the most handsome of all. There's no challenge. 😊
Finally that I saw that there is a Shop only for Mens Fashion! So Cool!
Kimonos and yukata are just so beautiful!
The shop lady is very well aware and very informative in her products
It would be interesting to see a series on fall in winter kimonos also

I’m so glad you say so! There are a few other kimono shops for men in Kyoto, so I will consider visiting them too!
Honestly, I was expecting a bespoke kimono, obi, haori to cost much more, especially considering those lovely fabrics. The material and weaving are so beautiful. Thank you so much for showcasing this shop.
This is so cool! Definitely a shop I’d love to bring my husband to when we can visit Japan again.
Such beautiful material! Love your choices, too.
This was a very interesting video shogo. I never knew how intricate the mens kimono was. Thanks for sharing with us!.
It’s so refreshing seeing men’s kimono like this. Loved this video 💕

Hi Shogo. Love to learn new things about something as different as Japanese culture (compared to European) from watching your videos. So here's a question: I understand that Yukata is more of a cassual clothing? When or where do you wear a Kimono? Is it like a common formal clothing, or like a "tier" above standart suits? Would a person wear it to work (like a manager), or is it like for events like wedding, birthday, theatre.... etc.?

I just bought my brother a yukata for his 21st birthday. It was his first kimono and he wears it all the time. I'm so happy he loved it so much and I really want to expand his collection when I can afford it. This video was so awesome and gave me wonderful ideas on how to pair certain patterns to really create a stylish and attractive look.
Finally! A place for men’s kimonos!🤩 Thank you so much Shogo!😊 Can’t wait to be there in may😊
Please show us when the kimonos are ready. Very nice video!
What a interesting Video! great watch :D well done Shogo.
I love this channel ❤
Shogo, I love your videos. My question is this: Is there a difference between a kimono that you might wear on a holiday, maybe to a park or a festival and a kimono that you would wear to a special event, such as a wedding? For example, in India, red is a color for weddings and the goal is for the bride and groom to look like a royal couple. Their clothing is very different from the garments a guest would wear. Is that similar to Japan?
@LetsaskShogo

Yes they would all be different! There are actually about 13 different ranks within kimono, and they all have different occasions of wearing them✨ Please check out my “kimono vs. yukata” video for more information! kzread.info/dash/bejne/pJl2t7JmgrjbpJM.html

I really like your choices All are very classy.
These are beautiful and I think of it like a bespoke handmade western suit. The skill of craftsmanship as well as the high quality materials justify the price completely!
Very interesting video. I've been wondering for a while, is there an easy way to tell what season kimono are for or is it something only experts can tell. I would like to know so if I get one, I don't wear it out of season.

I’m no expert but I do wear kimono for Omotesenke tea lessons. I love kimono and research it a lot to make sure I wear it correctly. A quick look at the fabric will tell you what season it’s meant for. Awase kimono are lined and are used for most of the year, from October to June. Hitoe are unlined and are worn July to September. And there’s summer kimono worn, known as Natsumono or Usumono, besides being unlined, the fabric is usually transparent due to its breathable weave. The same differences apply to obi and to the undergarments. I hope this helped 😊

It just simply depends on the thickness of the fabric! Once you get used to it it’s nothing difficult✨

@@LetsaskShogo is the pattern on it also an indicator of season or just the fabric type/thickness? For men its mostly just plain grey/blue/brown etc, but on women’s ones with vibrant patterns, do certain patterns indicate season (ie. does a cherry blossom pattern indicate spring)?
Thank you, very informative. nice.
Thank you for sharing this with the world. I see this being directly akin to buying a bespoke suit in my city. No, it is not inexpensive, but this is an art form of its own. You are getting beautiful fabrics as well as the workmanship of the tailor along with the wisdom and expertise of the craftsman. Very cool.
Every fabric she showed is so beautiful.
Fantastic fabrics.
More men kimono videos、please。The shoe manager has impecable taste. This was so enjoyable. Thanks.
Yeeeeesssss. I guess I know where I’m going next time I’m in Kyoto. Mens kimono can be so scarce.
Kimono is such a beautiful traditional clothing
I think that it's nice that the Japanese encourage and like foreigners to try wearing traditional Japanese dress. They do not accuse one of "cultural appropriation" For me, I see it as cultural appreciation.
Very educational and beautiful
I definitely want to get one 😤 even though the price is a bit expensive, but it's custom made so I think it's worth it

I Love it.😁👍 Thank you
so many amazing beautiful fabrics! From the strong, double sided and richly patterned obi to the near transparent textured summer weight fabrics - as a textile design fan I would love to know more about the weaving skills and traditions in Japan!
Thank you! This is awesome! ☺
Nice looking designs, I like the dark color one.
I really LOVE the red dragonfly kimono! I love making the beaded haori acessories!
I was originally under the impression Kimonos were for men and Yukata for women
Absolutely beautiful ❤️! Finally, a kimono shop with variety for men. By the way, do they sell hakamas, too?

I really love Japanese culture and for a long while I've wanted to get a kimono for myself, but I've never really talked about it due to the fear of people labeling it as cultural appropriation which it isn't, I love learning more about men's kimonos so thank you Shogo

Very nice
This makes me want a kimono even more.
The epitome of sophistication!
You guys rock,
I'm really grateful that such amazing stores still exist, but I'm also grateful for the second hand store off the beaten path in Tokyo that helped me find a beautiful combination for just 31000 yen and I could have spent as little as 20000. Everyone can enjoy Kimono.
Thanks.

I recently subscribed to you as I love your content. I really want to ask you 2 questions. I am going to Japan next year and I really want to buy a kimono that best symbolizes the class of the samurai back then. What shops and places would you recommend, and price ranges? It is a bit of a bucketlist thing for me since I was a child
Grazie 🙏
Some interesting patterns they got going here with accessories. Got an off topic question, I'm looking for Japanese Sandals for both cosplaying and everyday use, any recommendations?
Nice
Hi shogo, can you show us or make a video how to wash the kimono?
drip is off charts
first time seeing a transparent haori :0 It was eye opening
I think OP definitely should check out Japanese indigo dyers sometime.
Awesome 👍👍👍🙏⛩🐲⛩
I don’t suppose you could find out how to do that weaving technique for the summer cotton/hemp where it’s twisted? I’m a weaver, and would love to know the technique!
I plan on visiting Japan in July. When’s the best places to wear a kimono? Or can it be worn anytime anywhere?
omg the yukatas looked amazing. kimonos are very elegant, I like the more vibrant design of yukatas. personally, I prefer suits because they are more practical (pockets and not super baggy). But Japanese formal wear has this dramatic, calming air to it. While suits feels very stuffy or fashiony. I also really love Kurtas like the clothes found in India, but I think the rectangular cut of kurtas is not very flattering and the silhouette not as interesting. No defined waistline but the high collar and sleeves are cool
I really wish as a caucasian women that I could make a men’s kimono. I would love to wear the subtle colours at home. I just love Japanese culture

They’re called hakama. They’re like extremely wide legged pants. They make his outfit more formal. For day to day it’s fine to wear the kimono with just the haori when you’re out at and about.
