Geisha Makeover Experience

Takazawa will be writing a blog about how Maikos put on their kimonos. Today's blog is about Maiko's kimono.

Hello everyone. This time, I'll be writing a blog post, even though I'm not very good with the rainy season!!

What I'm going to write about is exactly "How Maiko wear their kimonos."

From here on, Takasawa's attention to detail is apparent.

Be sure to check it out☆

Oh! Before that, I'm not wearing maiko makeup this time, so please pay attention to the kimono.

The model is Take-chan, also known as Takemika Mariko.

Ok, here is a surprise question for everyone!!

Do you like the [KIMONO]??

**Yukiko love the KIMONO♡**

Style looks better Kimono how to dress Kimono!!

I think the outfit on the right is more balanced to suit her figure than the outfit on the left.

Blue →The hem fits snugly against the body to create a feminine line.

If it doesn't fit your body well, it will look flat and cylindrical!!

Orange →Adjust the width of the obi to fit your body width.

If it fits the width of your body, it will make you look delicate and give you a lovely impression.

Yellow-green →The length of the obi should be determined based on your height.

If it's too long or too short, it will look unbalanced and unstylish.

Which kimono do you think is fit for her body?

Blue→Fit the kimono to her body line.

Orange→Fit the width of the obi to the width of her body.

Yellow green→Adjust the length of the obi to her height.

It is not beautiful unless kimono's way of wearing matches her.

I forgot!!! The correct answer shows her body better in style on the right picture.

In the front photo, doesn't the one on the left look younger and slimmer? It's a really small difference, so it's difficult to tell, but I'll explain it a bit.

Blue →The way your neck looks changes depending on the angle of the embroidered collar.

It also depends on whether the angle is acute or obtuse, and how much of the embroidered collar is visible.

Orange →The position of the obiage will change depending on the position of the obi.

If the entire obi is worn high, you will look younger and more youthful.

(This time, the kimono was designed to be simple and cute, so the obiage is a single string. The proper knot will be added later.)

Photographs of the garden are also very popular.

Blue→I wil put on the embroidered collar so that the neck can be seen.

Orange→When the position of the obi is high, it looks young.

This blog post is very difficult, isn't it?! I'm sure you have many thoughts like "What's wrong with that?", "That's too detailed!", etc., but thank you for reading to the end.

Finally, my belief is to "allow people to enjoy wearing kimonos in a way that is as comfortable as possible."

Maiko kimonos are very special, so they may be more difficult to wear than you might imagine, but the most important thing about the maiko experience is to "enjoy it without straining yourself."

♡Let's all enjoy traditional Japanese costumes together♡

Was this blog difficult? Kimono is little tight costume, but I hope you do not hate kimonos.

Do not push yourself, please enjoy traditional Japanese kimono.

Let's enjoy the Maiko experience with us.♡

See you next yukiko's blog. Thank you!! o(#^^#)o
