Here are two videos I found on Youtube, showing how to put on a yukata kimono and hanhaba obi. It is in two parts below. If you only want the hanhaba obi instructions, they are in Part 2.

In Japan they say, if you attend one kimono class per week, you will just about learn how to put on and wear a kimono in one year.

Part 1

Part 2 – including hanhaba obi tying instructions

  So glad it was helpful. It’s so much easier when shown, rather than just having it explained. I can’t take credit for the video, though; I just found them on Youtube and embeded links to them to here.

Wafuku

This Wafuku blog is about Japanese kimonos, other traditional Japanese clothing and anything else, Japanese or otherwise, that tickles my fancy. Wafuku means traditional Japanese clothing, as opposed to more western-world clothing, which is called yofuku.
