Maiko Dance: Gion Kouta

[eburel506]

Does anyone know where I can find a REAL pattern for a hikizuri kimono. I can't afford a real one so I was going to make one. But they are differnent then your typical kimono ( they have some sort of fold or flap at the shoulder and half way down the sleave.

There is no pattern. If there was, me and hundreds of other Immortal Geisha members would be really happy. The flap is a sewn tuck. Unless you have a kimono on hand or have knowledgeable experience sewing kimono, then embarking on this project would be hard. I have some links if you would like them to get you started. =) PM me

0:21 was the best part. I love how they gaze at eachother.

Is this the dance where they are pretending to be two friends who met after long time and they are having a tea party to celebrate it? I guess it's the story!

[DameDiabolique]

It is a dance basically about how wonderful Gion, Kyoto, and Geiko/Maiko are.

Their kimonos are total eye candy.
