Kimono Online Classes

Hi, my name is Yukiko Sato, a KIMONO stylist from Japan. I have been based in New York City since 1994. Because I am a Mottainai Japanese philosophy believer, I love KIMONO that has no waste garment. My personal journey with KIMONO started when I had my KIMONO for Japanese Adult Day ceremony. Although 100 years ago, all Japanese knew how to make a KIMONO and put it on without help, we don’t make KIMONO nor dress ourselves in traditional clothing daily anymore. 

While I was volunteering at the Buddhist Church in spring time, someone asked me if I knew how to make YUKATA and would make one for the Summer Obon Festival. Another person asked me the same. I thought there were probably more people who wanted to learn how to make YUKATA so I uploaded a video about Men’s YUKATA on YouTube. A few weeks later, the video got over 1,000 views. Then I rushed to create this video course for you.
