Once you are able to put on a kimono by yourself, you will be able to wrap an obi around it.
(It is recommended that you take the class in order from Part 1 and Part 2.)
The kimono practiced in Part 2 will be casual kimono for everyday wear, so we will practice the obi called Nagoya obi, which is used to wrap an obi for relatively casual occasions.
This is the most common type of obi, also called ippie-daiko.
You will practice three times in total. The first time, please follow along as we watch. The second time you will practice together while remembering. The third time, let's practice without the instructor's sample.

No precautions

Please prepare your own materials and tools.
