Let's start with this one garment.
Once the kimono is made, next is the haori.
It's an andon bakama (skirt-type).
It's a women's kimono with two-shaku sleeves and long sleeves.
You can make it casually with a small piece of fabric.
It is an undergarment for the upper body. Choose a comfortable fabric and tailor it.
You wear it underneath the nagajuban or hadajuban. It's also fine to wear it directly under the kimono. Much more comfortable than wearing a T-shirt underneath, and even when taken off, it's a stylishly Japanese fashion statement.
A simple construction without an Okumi part. If you add strings, it becomes the upper half of a jinbei.
As work clothes with a Japanese spirit, it can be used daily. It can also be used as an undergarment for kimono.
For those who think sewing a kimono for the first time is too big, with a half-width Obi belt, you just have to cut it into a square and sew straight.
Once you've mastered the half-width (hanhaba) obi, let's try moving on to the Nagoya obi. It consists of two main parts: the body wrap and the taiko drum knot.
