Authentic Kimono in 17 Minutes -2-: ~An Advanced 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?】
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 book with the perfect translation. My latest record so far is 13 minutes and 41 seconds (by using a count-up timer) and this record could be broken soon!
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, start reading this second book, "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 the 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.
With these hints to quickly put on the second layer of the Kimono Underwear in the first book and the methods to make and to don the “Whole-in-One Kimono†and the “Whole-in-Two Kimono Beltâ€, introduced in this final series of "An Advanced Guide to the Proper Kimono Use", you can dramatically shorten the time of donning the Kimono, “Kitsukeâ€, all the more.
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.
ã€7 More Kimono Belt Knots in Total Added, as Requested by the 1st Reviewer】
* In the original edition of this book, for simplicity I introduced only the most traditional way to tie a Woman’s "Obi", Kimono Belt, which is called the "Taiko/Otaiko", Drum Knot. The first reviewer who rated the first series of these books with five stars (☆☆☆☆☆) 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 the first book and other three Knots in this second book (from this most updated 3rd edition) in addition to the most traditional "Taiko/Otaiko Musubi", 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 reviewer’s other demand.
ã€2 Kimono Hairstyles】
I have newly introduced 2 hairstyles for the Kimono in this book: Hairdo for any hair color and Simple! Banquet Updo with only one metal pin. By the time the complicated steps of the Kimono Donning are done, you will be totally exhausted; so, Kimono hairstyle should preferably be set before the Kimono Donning. Even in that case, the simpler hairstyle is the better. Enjoy one of them with the Kimono for a special occasion!
