It seems like in all cultures, something in clothing eventually got exaggerated to the point of inconvenience. Kimono sleeves, European trains on skirts, bedouin headcoverings, American headcoverings (sunbonnets)...

I thought at first that you will tie an obi 'from scratch' and I wanted to see that part the most, because an obi is what I always have the most struggles with.) What I admire every time it's how smoothly and elegantly you move even when putting on a kimono!

Thank you! Hope you were able to mend your fusode. What a gorgeous color and amazing print!

I would love to see a second version of this video but with the view from the back/ a split screen version with one video from the front and one from the back., as well as one on how to pre-tie a formal obi this way. I am very curious as to how you secured the portion of the obi that wrapped around the front in the back!

"Aber this year during my training..." :D das Deutsch kommt durch! wie süß!

@@BillyMatsunaga Oh, wie schön, dann kann ich jetzt ja deutsch schreiben. Ich liebe deine informativen Videos und deine natürliche, lebendige Art...!!!

Those long sleeves are awesome!

Can you show us how to pre tie this obi style?

Thank you, that was a fun video ! And what a gorgeous furisode, I hope you were able to mend it alright

That is a gorgeous kimono!

Really loved this

I love the furisode kimono

so schnell und wunderschön!

How to prepare this obi

Wowwwww!!!!!!!!

This furisode is very pretty! 💙 please let me know if you are ever gonna sell it. Also i still learnt small details from this non-tutorial. Thank you for making this😊👍 i wish i could do it as fast as you

I love your channel. Where can I find the pretty folding cutting mat I've seen you use in your videos?

Can you pls show us how to pre tie that obi style.

Ohh I line those lil clipsthingys for the collar. I have one that is continuous, but big as I am, it is a disaster to use, yours are much, much nicer. Now I got something to look for. Do they have a product name or is it DIY all the way? ♥️

No not the sleeves😭😩 got to start sewing to fix that sleeve🧵🪡

I also have a furisode

so i have a furisode kimono and i have a nagajuba but i think the nagajuba may be to small do i need to have a najajuba to wear my furisode also i love the han-eri on yours it supper pretty some advice would be great????

Hello I recently purchased a furisode kimono and my cuff to cuff length about 145cm but the kimono I purchased has cuff to cuff 130cm does this mater?

Can you use a regular short sleeve kimono juban for furisode instead of the long sleeve?

I wonder how long you take to wear Naga-Juban! It takes me forever to smooth the wrinkles 😭 And also, what kind of stuff is it when you used to set your Eri? It looks like Korin belt+ waist belt...??

The Nagajuban takes me usually less then 2 minutes. I’ve also a tutorial for wearing a nagajuban on my channel. This could help you. Yes, it is a “korin belt” which is cut in half can be clipped together later..... I learned to call this item “waist belt” and I like that term a little better 😊

Billy Matsunaga Thanks for your reply, and I’m t only takes 2 minutes! Yeah I’ll definitely watch the video! By the way, wearing furisode is okay for married women? I bought a sweet Furisode the other day but I got married 3 months ago... I’m willing to cut the sode though, it would be a houmongi anyways... what do you think? I’d like to wear furisode again!

@@BillyMatsunaga Could you show us in more detail what this waist belt looks like? It looks a bit like a hybrid between the korin belt and the stretchy koshihimo you can buy. I use korinbelts but I struggle big time as they, although I'm a size 38/UK 10, are too short and sit too tight, pulling the collars very close together and the kimono ends up swallowing my juban collar and rubbing against my neck and getting stained :(

RaiLen0 hi! This one is one I got from second hand kimono store in Kumamoto 😊

What is your normal time for putting on a kimono(awase for example) and a classic otaiko you tie on the back? I always takes me at least 40 min from juban till obijime 😅

@BillyMatsunaga

My recent times are: nagajuban 23sec, kimono 2min29sec, o-taiko 3min14sec, so about 7min in total

Whats your all time record! !¿?

They must make allowances for knots you can't tie by yourself it they allow the suzume (?) pre-tied (or perhaps most suzume is pre-tied)? And do they make rules about the kind of ties you may use? I noticed your datejime seems to be wider, like an obi-ita width, and your korin belt is a little different altogether than the regular one you might find.

Sou japan on ebay sells this type of korin belt I believe, I'll find the name of it tomorrow. I wasn't sure about how it worked until I watched this and now I have a mighty need

Sorry for the late reply!!! Yes, the obi arrangement is set as fukura suzume and all of them are pre-tied (usually you can't this arrangement prettily on your own). You have to use the all items that the school is using. (most beginners borrrow them from their sensei) The datejime as actually the same width. (I only use it for the contest btw, because I don't like this one). You can see more of the korin-belt int his video: kzread.info/dash/bejne/lmVrsLmboMuXdLg.html
