Fulfilled a lifelong dream of being professionally dressed in formal kimono in Japan for an event!

I learned loads of kitsuke tips - definitely worth paying money for them to sew on the haneri and preparing the kasane’eri to see how the professionals do it!

Also very happy with how the coordinate turned out - everything came together really well! Worth the months of finding different pieces to go together - but actually quite a few of the main pieces (obi, obiage, kasane eri) were from my existing collection.

Congratulations on the successful completion of the event!!

Eerie obiage by designed by JavaSparrow, depicting the deaded Ushi no koku (hour of the Ox).

This obiage is a perfect accessory for Japan spooky season as the hour of the Ox (around 2am) is Japanese equivalent of Western “witching hour”, where you could encounter ghost or monsters, but also where bad deeds such as curses and others mischiefs/crimes were thought to be done.

No. 13 - 2012

Character: Ryougi Shiki (ARC Drive ver.) Series: Kara no Kyoukai by TYPE-MOON

Cosplayer Credits: - Kouma: My brother

Photog Credits: - Lauren - Kirky

==========

This was another costume ~mostly~ for my brother. He really wanted to be Kishima Kouma from the game Melty Blood (he also features briefly in Tsukihime), and showed me Ryougi. I had always wanted to make a kimono and really liked her overall design so I put a lot into this costume!

==========

I chose to use an Le Tigre Long from Arda Wigs in Dark Purple (023) because I'm using the very detailed figurine as my main reference source and it's hair is faintly purple. In most lighting, it will look dark brown or black.

I used Simplicity's kimono pattern (4080) for the cotton under kimono and main, silk, furisode kimono. Sadly, I couldn't find perfectly matching fabric for it, but I hope it's close enough (it's a poly silk). I'm not using any pattern for making the obi (brocade) though I learned how to tie the obi into a tateya musubi knot which is the knot on both the figurine and from what I've seen in her anime. I also got material for the obijime (cord from eJoyce), obiage (scarf; crepe), and obiita (simple cardboard with yarn ties).

The sword (Kanesada Kuji) is made out of pine (hilt and blade) and balsa (guard) and spray painted. Hilt is wrapped in ribbon. My dad helped me with the cutting and sanding.

For my brother's... I used the Chinese pajama pattern from Folkwear and simple black cotton. Which was also used for pretty much everything else... pants and foot wraps. We actually burned the bottom of his pants because I wanted the effect that he could actually produce fire, like in the game. I used black spandex for the gloves and just traced his hand to make a pattern.

I actually made the clasps from faux pearl buttons and scrap fabric. I kept complaining about how ridiculous Kouma's clasps were and how they don't work like normal Chinese clasps so I just set out to make them myself. And the wig is a Shaggy Wave Wig with Long Bangs in Shadow Blue from Shop Cosplay (Cosplay.com's wig shop).

==========

Ryougi: Cost: $124 Time: 7 hrs

Kouma: Cost: $79 Time: 12 hrs

Hi! Do you have a list of all the elements required to wear a standard kimono? I recently bought one but not entirely sure what else I need besides the obi haha. I thought I saw it in a post somewhere before but I’m on mobile and can’t seem to find it.

Also, what sort of season would a black kimono with an all over pattern of purple peonies and simple stripes possibly be? My kimono has a single simple lining and unpadded hem, so i thought maybe all season, but I’m not sure. It feels like something more mass produced and purchased in a store rather than bespoke.

Tysm!

So, to wear a kimono you'll need the following: -A kimono -A juban to wear under the kimono -A datejime to keep the juban closed -So, so many koshihimo (like, 4 minimum) -A korin belt if you feel like keeping things neat and tidy -An obi -An obi ita for keeping your obi looking flat -An obi makura for keeping your obi up -An obiage for covering the obi makura -An obijime to keep the obi on As for seasonality, your kimono is considered an "all season" type, so it can be worn anytime from October to May without issue ^^

The look of... VIII: Shimizu 清水

Historical context The first official date in the history of Shimizu Geigi is 1872, when "Machi Geisha" (まち芸者), who were distinct from "Kaku Geisha" (廓芸者), appeared. A Kenban (registry office) was established in 1877. At that time, Machi Geisha and Kaku Geisha combined were around twenty people. Only ten years later, in 1887, their number had increased to 100. The number of Geigi continued to grow.

In 1938, the number of Geigi was around 260, and they were highly regarded nationwide for their skills in art and behaviour. In 1951, a "Shimizu Geigi school" (清水芸妓学校) was opened, around 150 Geigi attending the event.

In the 1970's, Japan's period of economic growth started tapering off, interest in traditional arts dwindeled, which resulted in less work opportunities for Geigi and the number of Ryotei decreasing. In response to this, local business leaders and Shimizu Geigi started an organisation to help fostering new Geigi (Seibikai 清美会).

By 1985, their number had decreased to thirteen and the Kenban closed. In 1991, local businessmen and Geigi formed a different company (Seibi Co. 清美(株)), which worked as employer for Geigi. Due to a bad economic environment, Shimizu Odori (清水をどり) was last held in 1998, Seibi Co. was dissolved in 2004, and Haru no mai (春の舞) was discontinued in 2009. As a result of this, some of Seibi's employees became independent Geigi.

Allegedly, the number of Geigi hit rock bottom in 2011 with only two remaining. However, in 2012, around eleven Geigi worked in Shimizu. Since then, the city had a steady stream of Geigi coming and going again. At the end of this year, 2023, there are ten Geigi working in the city.

The look of Shimizu Geiko Local Term: Geigi 芸妓 ※ Hairstyle: Taka shimada, Tsubushi shimada ※ Kanzashi: Kushi, Maezashi, bekko kogai, ear of rice in the new year period ※ Kimono: Homongi, Kuromontsuki Hikizuri ※ Haneri: white ※ Obi: Taiko musubi ※ Obiage: green, pink, white, red ※ Obijime: flat, 1 knot ※ Footwear: Zori

Casual look ※ Hairstyle: Yohatsu ※ Kanzashi: none ※ Kimono: Homongi, rarely Komon ※ Haneri: white ※ Obi: Taiko musubi ※ Obiage: white, pink ※ Footwear: Zori

The look of Shimizu Maiko Local term: Shinjin Geigi 新人芸妓 ※ Hairstyle: Momoware Katsura, sometimes real hair styled (shin nihongami) ※ Kanzashi: seasonal and non-seasonal Hanakanzashi, Katsuyama, maezashi, Shidare in all age groups ※ Kimono: Furisode with shoulder tucks or no tucks at all ※ Eri: white with white embroidery, plain white, white with multicolour embroidery, other colours possible especially during summer months ※ Obi: Koken musubi ※ Obiage: flat, mostly red/silver, red/white shibori, other colours also possible (green/beige/light blue) ※ Obijime: flat or round with 1-4 knots. No obidome ※ Footwear: Zôri

Notes Shimizu was merged with Shizuoka in 2003. Shimizu Geigi and other traditional arts performers are backed by 静岡伝統芸能振興 Shizuoka dentô geinô Shinkô-kai/Shizuoka traditional performing arts promotion association, which is the successor to Seibikai. You might notice I didn't start this post with a historical b/w photo. There are some old photos on the Shizuoka Dentogeino homepage, but they are the size of a postal stamp. And that's it. I feel let down. No chance to explore the historical style of Shimizu. Anyways. "The look of Shimizu/Shizuoka" was requested by @geimaiko. The layout of this post is based on geimaiko's own. Also... geimaiko originally started these series. If you liked this post, you should go and thank her, because without her, there would be no "the look of..." ;)

KimoNovember Day 1: After years of not taking part, I figured I should put some effort into coordinating my closet, especially with all the new items in it that I recently acquired from a friend.

Today’s is an easy coord because I had forgotten to prepare in advance 😬 Both the kimono and obi are from my friend, accessories from my existing closet. The colour scheme is a nod to the old Immortal Geisha forums! This coord is 100% summer, which makes it very wearable in the tropics.

Refined early autumn ensemble, pairing a light purple iromuji and a tsumugi obi with grape pattern.

The star is the beautiful (and pricey!!!) obiage which brings texture and color to an otherwise very quiet outfit.

@thecrowsart re the obi knot for 2024 Mononoke's Kusuriuri

I didn't have the right obi type for it, I used a hanhaba obi sash for the grip/strength of the fabric, so the proportions aren't perfect and I haven't nailed the length balance for the ends to stick out equally, but basically I folded some parts in half, some loop de loops, etc. This was before we got a full view of his back from the last trailer so it might need revisions. I'm gonna try making some fukuro obi mock ups for better knot testing, and marking when what fabric starts when, as fukuro obi sashes will sometimes have changes in fabric for cool effects on specific knots, which seems to be the case with this one (thus why it changes from red to purple to checkered) the little knot in the main knot is clearly an obiage, it's orange so highly unlikely to be part of the obi, plus shape is rounder so yeah. Basically this hole thing is like, knot base inspired by actually Tateya musubi knot on a fukuro obi, but the ends of the knot are the tips of the sash, whereas a tateya musubi can't do that the way it's folded.

So yeah this goes a bit crazy

Someone in one of my cosplay servers suggested it might be based off Kabuki obi sashes, which had cords at the ends to tie them faster for theatre changes etc. Kusuriuri's does have a string wrapped around the obijime, so like maybe? But idk, also I'd much rather make a full one piece sash obi than have to un piece how to make a Kabuki inspired sash...

Tho tbh looks more like a cord for the round mirror, so could be wrong

#mononoke #kusuriuri #im not sure if i prefer one design over the other atm #i like the facial proportions of og kusuriuri more but i like that nusu (lol) has proper kimono sleeves #the round sleeves kinda bother me though they can be handwaved because hes just a weird guy out of time out of place #i like the more subdued coloring of the original but the neon is growing on me and the new palette is more cohesive #crazy to call his coloring subdued but compared to nusu it really is #anyway well just have to see #i do prefer his red obi though it kind of looks like the new one is just plain purple and with no obiage?????????#really hard to tell though there isnt a good full body shot. damn those beautiful sleeves #anyway looking forward to it!!

First attempt at tying リボンむすび (ribbon musubi). It's not perfect, but not a total disaster! I used Billy Matsunaga's YouTube tutorial.

Considering that two days ago I had only the kimono and nagajuban, and I made the obi, obiage, and all the assorted ties and accessories in a mad overnight scramble, I think it came out pretty well! 😅
