Ask the Instructor

Once you have mastered wearing an everyday kimono, the next step is to practice wearing a visiting kimono (formel kimono).
We will dress you while paying attention to the differences from the komon (everyday kimono), such as the size of the obi (sash) and the crest (openness at the back of the neck).

You will practice three times: the first time you will watch the instructor's movements and imitate them; the second time you will watch the instructor's movements and try by yourself if you don't understand something; and the third time you will try to do it by yourself without the instructor. You can ask questions as many times as you like if you don't understand something.

No precautions

Please prepare your own materials and tools.
