Authentic Kimono in 17 Minutes -1-: ~A Comprehensive Guide to Proper Kimono Use~

ã€Donning an Authentic Kimono in 17 Minutes from the Kimono Underwear, the Kimono, to the Kimono Belt with the "Taiko/Otaiko Musubi", Drum Knot? Are You Kidding?ã€‘

Oops, I told you a lie about 17 minutes. You can actually put on the Kimono in less than 17 minutes with the methods I will explain in this and the second books with the perfect translations. My latest record so far is 13 minutes and 41 seconds (by using a count-up timer) and this record could be broken soon!

One complaint of the heavy Kimono user is that she has to stitch the half-collar, â€œhan-eriâ€ every time she puts on it; so, in this book, I will introduce how to shorten the time of the Kimono Donning, â€œKitsukeâ€, by attaching a replaceable and washable half-collar with zipper to the second layer of Kimono Underwear, â€œnaga-jubanâ€.

This book is full of illustrations in addition; therefore, after you have finished reading this from cover to cover, it is convenient for the Kimono beginners as well as the heavy users to follow just the illustrations when you actually get into the Kimono.

* If you are an expert enough to know that you will don a Kimono made from winter fabric without a lining, called "Hito-e" until the middle of June, go on to the next series** of my books, "Authentic Kimono in 17 Minutes -2- ~An Advanced Guide to Proper Kimono Use~" with the suggestions for Kimono Make-up, Kimono Hairstyle, and Kimono Accessories. If you would like to know the basics of Kimono Donning, "Kitsuke"; for example, how to authentically tie the most formal and traditional Kimono Belt Knot, "Taiko/Otaiko Musubi", Drum Knot (and four other Knots I newly introduced from this most updated 3rd edition), read from the first series for a comprehensive guide to proper Kimono use, which includes how to select the first and the second layers of Kimono Underwear.

** The next series of my books, "Authentic Kimono in 17 Minutes -2- ~An Advanced Guide to Proper Kimono Use~", is now available.

ã€7 More Kimono Belt Knots in Total Added, as Requested by the 1st Reviewerã€‘

*** In the original edition of this book, for simplicity I introduced only the most traditional way to tie a Womanâ€™s "Obi", Kimono Belt, which is called the "Taiko/Otaiko Musubi", Drum Knot. The first reviewer who rated this book with five stars (â˜†â˜†â˜†â˜†â˜†) titled "Solid Kitsuke in English", nevertheless, said that this book introduces only one way to don the Kimono Belt. Another reviewer criticizes the same thing for another Kimono book; so, I guess that people want to know more about Japanese culture which is good; so, as requested, I will add a new "BONUS" Chapter to these two series of my Kimono Books (from this most updated 3rd edition) for introducing 7 Knots in total with full of illustrations: other four Knots in this first book and other three Knots in the second book (from the 3rd edition as well) in addition to the most traditional Drum Knot I originally introduced. From this most updated 3rd edition, the estimated lengths (for both two series of these Kimono Books) doubled, which consequently and coincidentally met the reviewerâ€™s other demand.
