Hello. I am a traditional Japanese dancer called NIHON-BUYO. It is as famous as KABUKI and MAIKO in Japan. In this channel, I will share Japanese culture through my daily life. I have been learning English but it is not enough, so I put subtitles on this video. I hope the translator works well and you can enjoy this video in your language.

This is so useful, especially for those who wear kimono and kimono-inspired costumes in animé and other Japanese culture conventions.
I love your videos on kimono! I love to draw people in kimono so these videos are always so helpful😁

Happy Anniversary! I enjoy your videos! I hope you reach the 1k sub before this month ends!!! 頑張れ!!
I totally agree with you about "feel" the costume : when I wear mine traditional clothes, I walk, sit, move very differently.
I've always loved kimono 👘 I think they are beautiful works of art, personally I would be far too clumsy to wear one
Wearing a kimono corrects one's behavior. I can really feel it. it's so impressive and it feels good.
Congratulations on your channel's one year anniversary. Good luck in the future.
I will struggle with an uneven hem line. The waist belt trick will help so much to make it even. Thank you!
Happy 1 year anniversary 🎉🎊🎈🍾
It would appear that kimono's are made in one length and that the wearer has to adjust it to their height. That means, every time you wear it you have to adjust it. Is it possible to get the correct length and fix it, so that you can avoid further adjustment.
On a slightly different note, how do you cope with using the toilet? There is a lot of material and you do not want it draped on the floor. I have a pair of hakama which are really annoying to go to the toilet in.
The correct size for women's kimono is your entire height (from head to floor) so you can wear it fashionably with an ohashori (the fold at the waist). The correct height for men's kimono is your height from your shoulders to floor. Men's kimono is not worn with an ohashori. Some dance kimono are longer than your entire height so they can trail nicely on the floor and look glamorous when you move. Maiko and geisha's kimono are this type, called hikizuri. Because these sizes are exact (i.e. your height, your shoulder height, et cetera) kimono is not really one size or "free size". It is tailored to your measurements, so when buying secondhand you must check the height and the size of the back and front widths to make sure it will fit you properly. Of course there are mass-produced yukata now that are sized like S, M, L, LL, and so on, but unless you are the exact size they think of when making that size, it won't really be properly measured to you. (Of course, they are still wearable.)
To use the toilet, it's quite simple to pick up the layers from the hem and pull them up above your hips, so you can sit down and use the toilet. Once you are done, it's easy to put each layer back nicely, so it's as it was before. For hakama, the back is tied on last, so you untie the back only and fold it down, leaving the front still tied, then pull up your layers as described. It's easier when wearing hakama because you wear your kimono a bit shorter.
Please recall that traditional toilets are squat toilets, so this holding of fabrics out of harm's way is a bit easier with that style, but it still works with a sitting toilet.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking an interest in kimono. While there are adjustments to be made each time and challenges like using the restroom, once these become part of your daily lifestyle, they no longer pose a significant problem. It's as simple as brushing your teeth.😉
@@fishgarden7784 Forgive me for not responding sooner, this has only just popped up. Thank you for addressing my questions so comprehensively. I've always wanted to go to Japan but my ignorance and rudeness would probably get me into trouble.
@@nihon-buyo-japan I have been fascinated by Japan for many years. Have you noticed that there seems to be almost nothing about Shinto, as a religion, except for "broadcasters" saying "This is a Shinto Shrine", nothing about the paper 'thunderbolts', nor how to make them... I was about 10 years old when I discovered Origami as an art form, considerably older than that now. I've seen the Tea Ceremony a few times in films and it can almost bring me to tears. Magical in its grace and beauty.
