Ask the Instructor

Once you have mastered the dressing of the visiting kimono (formal kimono), the next step is to practice the double-decker obi (double drum).
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 as much as possible; and the third time, you will try by yourself without the instructor. If you don't understand something, you can ask questions as many times as you like.

It will be easier if you take Part 1: Visiting Kimono and Fukuro obi (ceremonial dress and double drums) - Kimono version before taking the lesson.
