Weathering - adding "dirt" and "wear and tear" 👀

Our artist friend advised us to use natural pigments first before going crazy with textile paint. To add dimensions to the pleats, I used a block of charcoal and later, we will add some "dirt" splatters with acrylic paint. We will then add some intentional tears to the hem of the hakama to imitate combat scars on fabric.

I can't wait to finish the backside of this hakama and put on the full set on the dressform! We're also weathering down parts of the kimono, so please stay tuned!

Let's talk about kimono for young girls, 3 vs. 7 years old.

(Photos from OHARIBAKO)

Since it's United Nations month, we are receiving inquiries from parents who want nothing but the best for their girls. As someone who has been practicing kitsuke and collecting kimono for 16 years, every kimono has its own beauty and charm, regardless of its overall built. Ultimately, we will prioritize our clients' comfort over aesthetics, and we will refuse to allow our clients kimono sets that are not only uncomfortable, but also inappropriate for their age and the occassion.

The rest of the more detailed information is in the first two photos below, but I'll share a piece from my own experience.

A kimono paired with a padded hifu vest is the most comfortable option for three year old girls. It allows them to be able to walk freely (I've had a few lively ones who even ran) and as toddlers do, just be carefree. On the other hand, a full furisode set for seven year old girls becomes the best option as they can now carry themselves better, and compared to toddlers, they now have more strength to stand and last in a rather heavier option compared to its three year old counterpart.

Personally, I even had a 7 year old client in the past who barely lasted in her furisode. The child wanted to rip off her kimono so badly, the mom just decided to have me take it off of her even before the program has concluded. Imagine that same weight on your three year old. We probably wouldn't even have finished the kitsuke.

What I'm trying to say is there are comfy kimono options for people of all ages. Even if it's United Nations month, let us not sacrifice anyone's safety and comfortability just to look top-tier. Honestly, as long as your attire is authentic and well thought of (and backed up by research), the simplest attire can be the most ravishing.

TLDR: hindi po kami japan-japan. Please take our advice because we know our sh^t 😊

On the dressform vs. on me 🙂

Furisode kitsuke is probably one of my faborite things to do. I get to play around with the musubi, but for my Miss Sake photo here, I had to do the standard fukura suzume.

First half of the design is ongoing! I'm yet to add the finer lines later. I'm trusting the process 😩🙏🏻

Celebrate United Nations Day in Traditional Japanese Kimono

At Kana no Kitsuke Kimono Shop & Rentals, we offer authentic kimono pieces from Japan, allowing you to appreciate the country's rich cultural heritage, traditional craftsmanship, and the art of wearing kimono. Whether you're preparing for your school's United Nations Day celebration, a cultural presentation, or a special occasion, we are here to help you experience Japanese tradition with respect and appreciation.

Our Kimono Rental Philosophy

At Kana no Kitsuke, we value the traditions and proper practices associated with kimono dressing in Japan. We believe that hospitality (omotenashi), respect, and transparency are essential to providing a meaningful kimono experience.

• Complete Sets Only: Our kimono rentals are offered as complete sets to help ensure that each outfit is properly coordinated and presented.

• Supervised Rentals Only: For the proper care, handling, and wearing of our kimono, we do not accept unsupervised rentals. We want every customer to enjoy the experience while ensuring our treasured garments are treated with care and respect.

• Honest and Transparent Service: We explain our rental guidelines, inclusions, and conditions clearly so our customers know what to expect before booking.

These practices help us preserve the beauty of our kimono collection while sharing Japanese culture in a thoughtful and respectful way.

📩 Planning to wear a kimono for United Nations Day? Send us a message to inquire about our collection, rental packages, and availability. We encourage early reservations to secure your preferred design.

I am slowly coming back after a very exhausting month.

Behind the lack of posts, I am finishing my commissions (thanks to everyone's support, by the way, all of you are lovely and awesome people). This is the first kimono I ever draped on the dressform after everything came crashing down.

Here's to the little glimmer of hope I found even during the darkest times. I will keep going, not only because there's no choice, but because I love my craft and I know I have a great support system who always reminds me that I'm good enough.

See you all on my next posts ✨🌸
