[asdsvcfrag]

So beautiful.

[Fraushini]

[HyeonJeongLuv3]

Nice....Arigatou

[FayeleeDarkclaw]

wow makes the one I got at a animatin con cheap I paid lik 65 dollors for it and it came with the belt and eveything..

[xxsweetyflowerxx]

veeery expensive clothes huh ?! : /

I wonder if I am able to buy me one too....if I travel to japan one day xDxDxD

[xoxellevexox]

Are all kimono very expensive?

[TheBlayzinAsian420]

@xoxellevexox I imagine they're so expensive because theyre 100% silk. I bought a really nice one online that didnt cost me anywhere near as much as those

[yui4me]

On your other vids I saw that clothes in Japan are really expensive. How come it is like that? Isn't there a deflation? Normally everything should be cheaper. =/

Keep more vids coming, I'm already an addict. ^_^

[ShimmyunderBubblez]

3k? woooah. are they always that expensive?

[99Crystals]

Do japanese people think gaijins look like retards in japanese colthing, eg. kimono? Or does it depend on something?

I'm worried because I'm travelling to Japan next winter and I don't want to come off as ridiculous if I dress up in something similar for new years..?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@99Crystals

If everyone you are with wears them at new year it would be OK for you to also..

if they don't - don't.

It is the group thing ^_^

[310BPM]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

So.. If I go to Japan on vacation and wanted to rent a kimono to wear for the day, with my grandparents wearing them as well, would we be thought badly of?

I don't mind getting stared at or anything, I just don't want to be offensive. :)

[WABBITS8]

@99Crystals Quite the opposite. I went to the Kyoto textile centre where you can pay £10 to have a kimono propaly fittedand loaned for a couple hours. Iwent on the fasion stage so my boyfriend could take a video of me, and the japanese there thought it was a real fasion show and were fascinated that a gaijin girl was in kimono! They all got out the cameras and camcorders! It was hilarious. I was only meant to go up for five minutes. I was up there for ages. It was so sweet!

[USFullOfLies]

@99Crystals Only those on your country will look at you like a retarded,

[angelwings1086]

Such a short video! ='( I think I could spend a year in that store! ♥ I wish I had the cash to spend on a REAL kimono. My life would be complete! ^_^

[chistiananimefan]

What is the fur collar called? 

[catkac]

@chistiananimefan Obi, is it not?

[unkownusername397]

[XxlexiaraxX]

Key moe no :3 But they are very pretty, I want to own one someday..

[Spishie]

Wow, those are gorgeous :) could lose the fluffy stuff around the collar though.

[Chuloloc]

That's KEE-MO-NO. Much love for Japan.

[LoveAllAnime1]

wow what one do u know if there is a way to buy them without going to japan?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@LoveAllAnime1

but good ones are worth over $10,000...

[xXGaTaGaNgStErXx]

wow.. beautiful..

i would totally buy one..

they just leave me breath less..

Japan rocks

[princesslisa31]

my mum is 55 and has a childs kimono she was given when she was about 5 when a uncle went to japan its beautiful!!

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@princesslisa31

[ArielannaDragonBlood]

I've always wanted my own kimono. Maybe If I ever get the means to live there one day I'll obtain one :-)

[ihatefakersandposers]

[bloodymissb]

Kirei...I would give my left hand for one...

[uglyengineer]

[SerenityBeleverXX13]

 I just LOVE Kimono's (u know i never knew it was said like that he he ;) )

[cinnamonYUME]

Wow!!!

There are so many beautiful kimono, DEMO TAKAI =D

Hope you make a video of women wearing KIMONO

Thanks for the videos

[K1kuch1]

Expensive but quite beatifull on a chick..

:D

[quantumdelta123]

15000 thousand dollars! holy mother god. The most I've spent on a single piece of clothing was 200 quids and that'll probably last me for next 5-10 years to come.

[hitachi088]

100yen=1$

[ElegantPaws01]

Thank you so much for the visit. I hope that you return to another Kimono Shop and spend more time there. Perhaps exploring the differing varieties of Kimono...(Furisode) etc. Again, thank you.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@ElegantPaws01

maybe :-)

[dalriada842]

@TheJapanChannelDcom If you do go to another kimono shop, could you show some designs intended for men please. They look like works of art.

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@dalriada842

Men's designs tend to be much simpler.

You can see some on the "wedding in Japan" play list.

[Syobon3]

15.000$, is the kimono made of gold? LOL, must be one really special...

[uglyengineer]

Syobon3: "15.000$..."

Assuming you meant $15,000; kimono are supposed to be made of silk, and totally hand made. People of means who want a truly traditional kimono are probably paying between that and $5000.

[shichan]

i do believe other countries use a dot instead of a comma to separate large numbers...america is so weird huh?

[uglyengineer]

Countries are completely different from other ones, makes for a totally strange world, oui?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@AkemiCaffeine

Never seen any that cheap :-)

[LivingDog94]

Kimono = clothes

[vpuncher]

man i want a hakama. so badwith the wooden glogs and straw hat sweet vid

[ElegantPaws01]

Correct me if I am wrong, vpuncher, but I think you meant geta not glogs.

[XxChuBByFaCexX]

amazing!!!!!!

[OrenjiKoomori]

I'm willing to spend $3000 Dollars for a Kimono just to see my Girlfriend in it! n\\\n

[PinkGrapefruit22]

So is the fur trim a modern addition, or did they actually have kimonos with fur trim in traditional Japanese attire?

[allgoo19]

@PinkGrapefruit22 "So is the fur trim..

Yes, it is.

They used to wear a coat called Haori over the kimono instead.

[lcook3]

Looks pretty.

[thestuffz]

I know a guy that has a hakama. they are very nice to. hmm i wonder if i can get my gf into a kimono :D

[softypapa]

Great quick peek at such an interesting store! -Kurt :-)

[hungimahar]

Nice vid.

1)Are there any kimonos for men?

2)Why in the world are they so expensive?

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@hungimahar

Guys wear hakama.

The material and labor to make them is expensive.

[Wingu84]

@TheJapanChannelDcom

Just a short input for anyone who's intrested. Hakama is also worn by women, especially when they graduate from university.

[darkmatter2007]

Nice Japan Vids, I've heard lots of handy tips and helpful advice. Everything I've heard so far matches up with what my Japanese 3 instructor has said about their culture. You know your stuff, thanks for the advice, it's good to know theres someone out there with reliable tips. Thanks, and keep em coming!

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@darkmatter2007

Thanks more coming!

[dragade101]

[totaldramaqueen108]

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@totaldramaqueen108

special birthdays, weddings and times when we might wear suits.

Some do, some don't.

[Enigura]

Wow. Thats really up there. Why are they so expecnive? Guessing its a high quality material but is it hand made or something??

[awesomenesssssssssss]

[1changoman]

Nice video mate.

I have a question, i thought people used kimonos at weddings but a saw one of your videos with normal wedding dresses.

do they still use kimonos or it's a dead tradition?

thanks :)

[makianime13]

people do both weedding dresses are for western weddings but japanese people who want a traditional wedding wear fancy kimono's.

[1changoman]

thank you

[BIGIFANDYELLOWCARD]

I thought it was pronounced?

Kee Moe no??

Have i been saying it wrong all this time?

[makianime13]

Its kee mo no.

[MOUNTAINOUS]

wow so expesive. are they silk of gold. i wonder why a kimono cost more than 3000 dollar armor from the ebudo store in japan. wild.

[Volvagia89]

hmm, are Kimonos for women only or are there kimonos for men as well? =)

The ones in the video looks like they are for women :P

[xOxannachanxOx]

[mellowsky47]

[nurutoseks]

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@nurutoseks

Men where a sort of kimono top but with hakama pants.

[ForeverLightShine]

I absolutely LOVE Kimonos. I hope to get one someday, I will definitely take good care of it and wear it on special occasions! :) Thanks for posting this video!

[valdedasonx]

Nice but there is something missing-a cute girl in that kimono...;-)

[johnmonk66]

wow, if they sell for that much, it would be worth learning to make them

[Yoshoku]

$15,000 omg.. is that a one for life? but still a lot of money :(

[TheJapanChannelDcom]

@Yoshoku

Yeah.. they usually keep them..

but not uncommon for them to buy a few in their lifetimes and throw the old ones away :-)

[Mrwrinkleintime]

...Gotta be silk.. with golden thread.. :)

[UtsukushiiTenshi]

Ohhhhh.. beautiful..

Always wanted one, ever since i was 8 or 9 x3 But i dont think they make kimonos for 170 cm long ppl -__- Merry Christmas btw! ^_^
