A few months ago I found that I read the kanji “冠” (the hat of the emperor’s outfit) wrong. While “kan” is a reading of this character, in this context it is read “kanmuri”. You see I’m always learning new things. Besides that all on this video should be correct 😄💕
So enjoyed this! Yes please would like to see more. Even though I found this 5 years later! Enjoy your channel and am going to try to make some garments
If you thought this was interesting and would like to learn more about Heian color combinations, read 'Kimono' by Liza Dalby. There is a chapter titled: The Cultured Nature of Heian Colors. Women were judged on their color combinations and there were even books naming them.
Your videos are so amazing and helpful. I hope one day you could tell us the beginnings of kimono history and maybe do like a timeline series or even explain us Japan history, haha. I'm so interested in samurai so I'm reading a lot of them and I think the meaning of everything even the way they put things on is very interesting. Keep with the good work! 😁✌🏽
Very informative. Thank you. Also, the kimono you're wearing is absolutely stunning on you. Such a lovely pattern, but it's the colors and how it brings out your eyes and complements your coloring and hair...wow! It is as if the pattern was designed specifically for you.
I made the mistake of making a kimono out of a polyester blend 😰. It's my dead of winter kimono now, and even then sometimes I have to stand outside or have the window open while getting my obi on. Because of that idea of wearing 12 layers of kimono makes me want to go lay face down in the snow.
the way you talk about bulky historjcal periods anf majir pllitical events of medieval Japan is quite a lot of fun. I really wonder, how anybody could survive a Japanese summer in of that cabbige-like clouthing
Thank you for this video! I’m actually making a Cosplay based off the the Emperor‘s outfit and I don’t wanna look like an idiot when I show it off to others. So thank you again for the information!
Hi the yellow colour appears to have been worn at the Chinese court too by the monarch called the 柘黃色, since maybe 580 (in Bidatsu era in Japan). They also had colour coded officials’ robes according to rank, so class 1 - 5 had purple robes and 6 - 9 red and green. Sokutai was not the most formal garment worn at the Japanese court-that dignity goes to the Raifuku. 😅
I know this video is old, but it is still so clear and helpful. Thank you so much! Do you (or anyone in the comments) know if the special woven belt hanging down in the front has a particular name? I've watched two Japanese-language videos of the dressing process, but I can't pick out the term if there is one.
I know it’s off topic, but do you by any chance know how a Japanese umbrella is suppose to behave in the rain? I have one that I took out in the rain and the paper seemed to get damp-ish but it didn’t fall apart, I still got nervous and got a western umbrella instead, but I was just curious if that is normal?
CAN YOU SHOW HOW HO IS MADE SOME TIME...AND HOW IT IS TIED IN PERIOD CLOTHING? MY LADY'S SIGN IS KIKU...WHICH I BELIEVE IS CHRYSANTHEMUM. . . AND SHE IS TIED TO THE STORY OF WASHING IN THE DEW OF THE KIKU TO REMAIN FOREVER YOUNG. LOVE YOU GEEK HISTORY BUFF! YES, PLEASE MORE CONTENT. MEASURING AND MAKING CHOICE OF SILKS ...COLORS ETC. LOVE THAT STUFF.
Both readings are possible for the color, but the garment is called “ōni no hō”. ja.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/黄丹袍 I’ve taken and actual passed exams on this. I know what I talking about. ... and also: check all readings of Japanese words, before you try to correct someone. You should know that there’s always more than one way. (Highest rule of mastering the Japanese language.)

More history videos please!!!
nice video👏😊!! thank you👍😉
For Chinese people their dress looks very similar to Tang Dynasty hanfu.
Edit: karaginumo (唐衣裳) does literally mean "clothes of the Tang"
Please, could you tell more about kimono in Sengoku period?
Is it possible to learn how to sew ho? I haven't found any pattern of it yet
so the emperor wear is all made of silk? Like every layer of it ?! And do they normally put patterns on men kimono though haha
Are there specific colors that only the royal women could wear? Could they pick the colors they liked?
As I said in the video: there are no rules when it comes to aristocrat women!

It should be fine but maybe spray it with water-proofing just to be sure. Is it a wagasa (oil-paper or silk)? The wet look could be very superficial.

どうも有り難うございましたまつなが先生‼ 僕はあなたの歴史レッスンが大好きでしたよ！それでも、僕はあなたのコンテントも大好きでそよ！じゃ待ったね！
Its read as otan not ouni
Both readings are possible for the color, but the garment is called “ōni no hō”.

Women still can not inherit the Throne and Royal women have to give up being Royal if they marry a commoner. Some things should change.
