    I am a non Japanese practicing tea ceremony, and that is also one of the reasons why I started wearing kimono while in Japan, and the main reason I still wear kimono back in Italy. And of course I'm a kimono lover, although I don't get much occasions to wear it in a more modern fashion, so I really enjoy your videos. It was so nice hearing you talk about tea ceremony as it is very much linked to kimono manners as well. I actually love your pocket on the kimono, I think it looks very cool!

    Your pocket sewing looks very right to me. I've done a little European historical reenacting, and from the 16th century onward, these tied pockets are used. You made a smart fabric choice, and the sewing techniques are extremely similar so even if a "costume police" person comes up and starts examining the status, they won't find fault.

      For a pocket that stays put comfortably, you can either thread the ties through the belt loops of your jeans (which does affect where you’ll want to tie or otherwise connect them) or you can put belt loops on your pocket and thread it onto your belt, like the pocket Gilbert Dolthalion made for Noelle (Costuming Drama).

    I am in USA in the state of Texas. I used to do some civil war era reinactment and I have the pattern for the pocket they wore under the hoop skirts and it looks the same as your pocket. I found the same pocket very handy under my rennaisance skirts I wore to a faire. They either wore pouches or bags hung from a belt around the waist then. The pocket was worn under the skirt and put at the opening of the skirt for easier access. My daughter and her husband were left a beautiful kimono when a friend of the family passed. She had it displayed in her bedroom. My daughter wishes to wear it but they did not receive the obi with it(the lady's daughter kept it though she was supposed to) I have been doing research to see what I can make so she can wear it properly your videos have been most helpful. Will be adding more pieces to the outfit as we can. Thank you so much. We want to learn more and do honor to the kimono.

    When giving a handbag, which these pockets actually are, my mom and my MIL always added 18cents for good luck and money for making a phone call. That would have been 10cents US when I was young but I have no idea if they still have such a thing as a phone booth any longer. The 18 number comes from the Hebrew tradition of 18 being the magical number for Life. A sweet tradition. I have an Extra Pocket, made by friend Hellenne Vermillion, which does not tie but is worn on a long fabric strip across my body. She used a piece of a hand painted silk fabric for the facing and cotton which is quilted for the back. I love the one you made.

    I love watching your process.

So it's really fun watching someone coming at more western sewing from a background in kimono sewing. It's really great how practical and accessible your approach to everything is.

    I've been fascinated by inrou (inro?) and netsuke for some time now. Last year I made an inrou from paper mache for my phone and painted it with acrylics. I made a simple netsuke disc from slate stone and an accent bead from a carved avocado pit 🥑 with an ocean wave 🌊 theme. It was awesome. Then my phone was damaged and my new phone was too large for the inrou 🤦🏻‍♂️. I love making traditional external pockets for daily use. I made a Scottish sporan inspired leather belt pouch too which has been fun. Love your videos! So inspiring. Making me consider sewing a men's kimono ensemble 🤔😊

    Amazing topic! Loved your video!
    When it comes to the tea ceremony mens situation it’s hard to tell specialty because men don’t wear kimono as much as women do, some of the etiquette’s been lost unfortunately. Doing tea ceremony as a host or a guest wearing a suit is a thing apparently.
    But I would say it depends on the occasion: on not too formal or practice occasions people leave their suikiyabukuro on on their side or behind them. But when it comes to formal occasion like a chakai or a chaji, very often the host prepares a room for you to remove your coat and basically get ready with your tea stuff. After that you’d leave whatever you were carrying behind before entering the actual tea room anyway. In that idea that where the tea room is no regular room you don’t “do stuff” or get ready in the tea room, when you enter the tea room, you’re all set.
    That kinran fabric pocket you made looks gorgeous btw!

    I loved the rundown of pocket options, so thank you Billy! One question though; why can't women use hanging storage & netsuke? You mentioned the obi is wide and worn quite high, but doesn't that just mean you need a longer cord between the hanging object and the netsuke? Thanks again for the first-class education I always get from your videos! I'll be making another haori soon and will definitely be sewing in some pockets into the lining as the gap at the back of the sleeve really worries me! 😂

    • @BillyMatsunaga
      @BillyMatsunaga  2 года назад +1

      Because the netsuke is put on after the obi is wrapped and the struggle to put this through 15cm of tight fabric is real. Another problem is that netsuke for men are really big and then you would have something to press against your chest all the time. Not comfortable. It’s not impossible, but it simply doesn’t make lots of sense. What I’ve seen is putting a tabako ire with a hook on your koshihimo. That’s something to go for 😊

      @@BillyMatsunaga Do you think ohashori in general is a sign of modernity in female kimono fashion? I’ve been wondering about this for a while.

    I was wondering, do hand fans still get tucked into the obi or do they just get in the way of female kimono wearing.

    Is there another name for the women's netsuke you show at 20:16? Searching for netsuke or "women's netsuke obi ornament" only brings up the button carvings.

    hi i know this video isnt about kimono and accesories, but im a cosplayer making my own cosplay. ive read places that its okay to wear makeup and accesories with your kimono but some people say you cant. which is right???? and do i need to wear geta/wooden sandals with my kimono?? i have a condition called hydrosis which causes me to sweat a lot more so im scared the wood may go moldy

      Haha! Oh, that’s an endless story. Not wearing make-up is definitely not an option. Look at maiko and geisha! They wear heavy make-up. And that make-up was worn in history by everyone who could afford it. So whatever you hear about wearing make-up or no make-up: in the end it’s up to you!

    Hey! In English it's not "Sewed", it's "sewn"- I think. Then again, English is not my first language lol

      I don't know where you are referring to, but both are correct depending on the sentence...
      "i/he/she sewed something"
      vs.
      "the item was sewn..." "the item has been sewn..." "handsewn item"

    • @ragnkja
      @ragnkja 2 года назад

      “Sewed” is the simple past tense, while “sewn” is past perfect, and needs an auxiliary verb, such as “to have” (e.g. “has sewn”) or “to be” (e.g. “is sewn”)

      yes, to the usages, but ultimately, as long as she gets her point across, who cares? I know and come across so many native english speakers (as thier onlky language) with the most atrocious grammar..... Billy has how many languages? German, Japanese, English, does she have any more?

      @@silkvelvet2616 yes this. unless corrections are asked for, if the meaning is correct i don't think unsolicited corrections are necessary in casual communication (even though I actually do proofreading, lol... but I feel much differently when it comes to casual and verbal communication; I think it's fine as long as meanings are clear.)
