[ALL IN ONE KIT]
I myself, as a lecturer, use it too! Easy to put on,
We have prepared only tools that enrich the variety.
1 garment bed (100x150cm)
It is a Japanese paper mat that quickly secures space to spread out and put on kimonos, and also protects against dust.
We carefully select and deliver items that are not bulky and easy to use.
※The color of the costume bed has been changed from white to pink.
2 adult triple string trio (hand washable)
It is a tool that increases the variety of gorgeous ways to tie ties. In class, I use it as a way to tie a half-width obi, but it can also be used with other obi. The colors are separated in a cute way so that it is easy to explain the order during the lesson.
Choose charcoal gray or mint green.
3 little obi pillow (hand washable)
We will increase the variety of ways to tie Nagoya obi. The Ginza knot line in Chapter 3 is beautifully decided.
4 kimono clips
We are particular about the exquisite clip card that cannot be replaced with clothespins and ease of handling. Comes with non-slip rubber that won't damage your kimono and a bell to prevent you from forgetting to remove it.
[2 color variations]

Curriculum
Creator
Rika Hanzawa
After 10 years as a store manager and store management at a kimono shop in Aoyama, Tokyo, he became independent. He presides over Kimono Atelier Ringo, which proposes a “kimono lifestyle connected to Japan like Jibun.”
Activities cover a wide range of activities, such as personal dressing, color diagnosis, product planning with long-established manufacturers, vocational school instructors, and event management where you can enjoy wearing kimonos.
I want to share my kimono life with as many people as possible, where I can “be fashionable in my own way” like choosing clothes.
Also, if you wear your own kimono, for example, you can easily spend time wearing a kimono on a 13-hour long flight or a trip. Everyone too
I hope you will experience a comfortable kimono for yourself.
Creator Interviews
Q. What kind of experiences do you want the students to have through this class?
A. I want you to wear a kimono anywhere you like, whether it's a trip abroad, a concert, or a nearby cafe, and enjoy it freely.
The scenery and encounters are fresh.
Q. What points did you put the most effort into when planning the class? Who would you recommend this class to?
A. I was working to sell reused kimonos. Rather than buying and selling reuse, what should you do to inherit the kimono or obi you currently have in your own way? I valued that.
Furthermore, it is packed with essences so that you can not only stay in a video where you just wear it, but also learn how to prepare and check before wearing it so that you can live a “life with a kimono,” and how to move (action) and care after wearing a kimono.
