How to tie an OBI on a Kimono

[MissSilentBliss]

What is the difference between a yukata and a kimono? Is a yukata only worn during the fireworks and a kimono worn on other occasions or something else?

[KAngelWhimseyMiloK]

why does he keep saying yes and sorry?

[the50chronicles]

@KAngelWhimseyMiloK In Japan people are very concerned with other peoples feelings. He is letting the store clerk know it is okay, possibly a lot due to the affect that the store clerk is dealing with a foreigner and may feel uneasy because she can speak fluent Japanese and the other girl cannot.

my obi is too thick to do that...i think its a different kind

[udon890]

I think it is a yukata. I am not Japanese. 

[AoEVideos]

; .; I wish I could fluently speak Japanese. There inst any lessons (that I know of) in my area. But I did understand some of the words you were saying. There was 'yes' 'Its ok (Or something like that)' 'Great' 'Cute' At the start, I didnt get that many words... BUT YEAH :D

On the video, Pretty epic, Now my friend knows how to roughly tie one up for our year 12 Dress-up day.

How long is the obi?

[DJmoni]

@howchildish I'm not sure but I can measure it if you like. I'm very excited to wear it now that spring is in the air! thanks for all your comments everybody :D

[aeleaonor]

[xXminenotyoursXx]

[takahashiwongwong]

in kyoto the maiko wear a obi called a darari obi which means long swining silk

[JoulseyCupid]

Thanks for the video! I wish there are more info on second-hand store in Tokyo, but this is great!

[lilMissF0F0]

i want a kimonoooo ToT so bad

[ZangeChannel]

@lilMissF0F0 Ebay is your friend, there are tons of shops selling all types of kimono.

[RelegasianChaos]

I tried to tie the normal obi, but I couldn't figure it out! So I just gave up and got the pre tie one! X3

[Tifachan0890]

I have the same exact Yukata, but the Obi I got with it was a completely different color, and defiantly not long enough to tie a proper Obi. T__T makes me sad, most I can use it for is a bathrobe...damn.

[silverraine12345]

the guy doesn't sound like he has a japanese accent.

[gorgeousmika00]

this was one of the more useful videos out there about tying an obi. thanks!

[xxawesomeninjaxx]

That Japanese guy has a sexy voice.

[coolmangaguy]

what the lenght of the obi

[zatoichi138]

Is this the oriental bazaar in Aomori, Tokyo?

[DJmoni]

no. it's actually a beautiful second-hand store in Aoyama, Tokyo. It's hidden behind the main road around French Connection. Wish I remembered the name!

[winxcat]

[winxcat]

cut out the 'too' part. i meant i want a japanese hotty to dress me in a kimono

[Rukiaxibi]

[ktt112020]

this helped me out a lot, thanx

[coven36]

THANK YOU! I've been looking for instructions for an obi and this video helped me A LOT!!! Thanks again!

[DJmoni]

you're right KooriAi. it's a yukata. unfortunately not many people know what a yukata is outside of japan, so i opted to call it a kimono even though it's not correct.

thanks for pointing it out =)

[KooriAi]

Are you sure thats a kimono? Because it looks like a Yukata.

[Kazesai]

@KooriAi a yukata is a type of kimono

[dawnakaangel]

@KooriAi im pretty sure it is a yukata

[jpopgermanrocker]

@KooriAi and thats a bow you wear mostly with yukata
