I think the 2nd style is my favorite but they're all gorgeous! I've always adored traditional Japanese clothes of all types, especially yukata, but as a westerner it's hard to know what's appropriate, so mixing the styles is a dream come true. Thank you for the links!

Hey, Shogo! Today I learned that there is a thing called "forbidden colors" in Japan. I heard that peasants were not allowed to wear bright colors meant for higher status people, but when I googled it in English on KZfaq I couldn't find a single video on this topic. I also heard that this thing was so obscure not even all Japanese people know of it, and I am certainly hearing it for the first time. Is there any chance you could make a video on it?

@ASweetShortCake 2 жыл бұрын

I think there’s something similar to this is some of the ancient western countries. Purple was a really hard to get color, only found in India I think (Idk, I remember Indigo… India?), so to get it you either needed to walk on land or boat. Now, if you walked on land you had to walk every far over dangerous lands and risk getting mugged, while if you boated you would risk getting attacked by pirates or getting caught on rocks. Because of this, Purple was reserved for royalty only, and if commoners wore it they would be stoned to death. Idk, Just something random I thought I’d share. I would love to hear the “Japanese version” of this.

@janebeckman3431 2 жыл бұрын

There were many laws about who could wear what, not just in terms of colors, but also fabrics, types of dying, and even what could be used for linings! (No purple or silk for you! You can use red here, but not here...No kanoko knots!) These varied by rank/class and time period, and they even sent out detectives to find out who was flaunting the laws in private! Can't have mere merchants wearing the same kimono as samurai! There are a number of books that cover this, but I'm not sure what is currently in print or available on the internet.

I loved this video and I agree with you - that would be cool. I imagine that the shorter male "kimono" (they may be called something else) could easily be worn with ordinary trousers or even jeans, and could potentially be used less tightly closed as a jacket. They could actually be adapted to have the side slit, to allow ties to be incorporated so that an additional belt was not required. Actually, it occurs to me that the female Kimono could have ties added so that perhaps the elastic back belt was replaced. Never mind, just let me entirely redesign all your national dress 🙄😃

Very cool and lovely looks. Kimono are so versatilve; I personally enjoy layering them with trumpet skirts. Having the ability to play with folds, lengths and texture really opens up creative possibilities. I first started messing around with my kimonos after receiving one that arrived being much shorter than listed. Having inspiration to experiment like this extends usage and creates so many new possibilities.

So reassuring to see that the blending of Japanese and Western clothes is becoming popular - a full kimono outfit is a bit beyond me at present! Thank you! ❤️ I do have a question, though - for the second look with the skirt, could a haori be used instead of a full kimono?

@eddie4013 2 жыл бұрын

I guess it would depend. Haori are like jackets for kimono so I imagine it would depend on how thick the material is. I'm sure since haori are shorter it would be easier than having to fold up all the material of a kimono.

The only issue would be that haori are not designed to be crossed over like a kimono; they just hang straight down framing the crossed collars of kimono & juban. So you might not have enough fabric to cross over.

@janebeckman3431 2 жыл бұрын

Unusual for a gaijin, I've been wearing kimono since I was 7, since my parents had many Japanes friends, and can wear it like like a "professional." I started collecting vintage kimono in the '80's because I loved their artistry. But 30 years ago, I started getting creative. playing mix-and-match with Western clothing, because I wanted to wear Japanese clothing all the time! I've done all these variations, and also wear obi with Western dresses or in place of a belt, and wear haori like jackets. It looks like the rest of the world is catching up with me, and I love it!

This was wonderful! Thank you and the ladies so much. I am bigger than most Japanese, but I dearly love to wear kimono and finding one that will go all the way around me and have the proper overlap is very, very difficult. My solution was to purchase a skirt that matches one of the colors of the kimono and so it's what shows (instead of the juban) should the kimono flap open too much. Apparently, I'm more in fashion than I realized.

This was such a lovely video. I've always loved how kimono looked since I first saw it maybe 18 years ago as a kid. Pretty recently, I've made an impulse buy with an obi. I studied how to tie it and when I finally succeeded I was like ''Wow... This is pretty constraining'' haha I was worried it was kinda frowned upon to wear kimono in a more casual way or not the ''proper'' way, so seeing this video I'm glad to hear Japanese women think wearing a kimono can be difficult too at times and it's okay to incorporate other items! I love the hakama style and want to wear it more often daily ^^
