How to wear a kimono

June 4, 2010

My host parents in Sapporo brought me to the grandparent’s place, and the grandma has this gorrrrrrrgeous kimono. She spent 20 minutes helping me wear it.

My host dad was holding the camera for the entire 20 minutes. This is a 8X fast fwd video of the process.

Really, wearing kimono is an art.
