Kimono Collection: Bright Yellow Tsukesage

I started to look for information about kimono lately. Kimono can show someone's marital status, the formality and season. Yes. The most formal kimono for unmarried woman is furisode, whereas for married woman is tomesode. After that, the formality range fall to houmongi, tsukesage and iromuji. These kimono can be worn for wedding reception, new year visit, fancy party or tea ceremony. I bought yellow bright tsukesage. I think I was daring back then. It's like a sunflower. So bright and sharp. The material was synthetic. This kimono is lined which means it will be unfavourable if I would like to wear it in a non-aircon room. I've tried to wear it several time, just for kitsuke practice, but haven't found a prper ensemble. I lack of komono, I guess. I actually want to wear this tsukesage for one of my friends wedding, but since I haven't prepared yet, that idea was canceled. Anyway. I still hope to wear this lovely kimono very soon.

And again, I left message to the shop's page:

Pardon my disturbing and abruptness words but fyeah, I think I'm going to wear this tsukesage for attending one of my friend's wedding hihihi... of course after I complete the komono set for the kitsuke: nagajuban, haneri, obiage, obijime, obimakura, tabi and zori ^_^;.
Even though I haven't received the kimono, I have a high expectation toward this tsukesage. Remind me of summer and himawari. Thank you, Sis.

 By the way, the color is more vibrant in real than what it looked like in the picture. What colour of obi should I pair it up with? Hmm...

Kimono Collection: First Fukuro Obi

This is my first fukuro obi. I bought it from the same store I bought my peach furisode. This fukuro obi is delicate and vivid. the gold thread is very prominent. I haven't worn it to some events. And this obi teach me how to tia an otaiko musubi the first time. Yeah. It was so messy and weird. I remember clearly as if the moment was just a milisecond ago. I sweated my whole body trying to tie otaiko in the back. The tutorial I got was doing it from the back. I got references later that otaiko musubi can be done in front or half-done.

Too bad I didn't take the picture more. I wish to wear this obi soon. Maybe with the furisode? All I need is find a proper juban for furisode and dateeri. As for the knot, oh well... I can't do some fancy musubi, so I will go with otaiko. Maybe...just maybe someone can understand the instruction on how to tie tateya musubi and do that to me, I will be glad.

I post a comment in the shop's page. Teehee~

This is my second purchase from your shop! Again, I haven't ever touched the real obi. I download several obi tying and knotting from youtube to know how to fold into otaiko musubi hihihi... I managed to do messy otaiko musubi with this obi. Just too afraid to let it folded for too long. I wonder about obi's treatment after usage .

The colour of this fukuro obi is gorgeous. I love the gold thread used for the background. I wonder if this obi is suitable for my tsukesage q(^_^)p.

Kimono Collection: Peach Flower Furisode

This is my third kimono I got after I bought my first red yukata and navy blue yukata. What got into my mind was utterly fuzzy and explosive. I suddenly wanted a furisode, together with the obi. Oh well... so I search some references about how to wear furisode and the appropriate obi and the musubi. Found out that I need a fukuro obi. And you know what? The accessories needed to dress up in furisode are enormous! The komono start from juban, hada juban, kimono bra, erishin, dateeri, datejime, obijime, obimakura, obiita, obiage, tabi, zori, and several koshihimo. WOW! Kimono is a serious hobby!

What triggered me to buy this furisode was my friend's wedding reception. I want to wear kimono badly to her wedding. Moreover, she is one of my bestfriend! I wasn't ready to wear that furisode to date. I already bought a fukuro obi, matching enough for the ensemble. But I barely knew proper kitsuke. I guess I need to learn to do the proper kitsuke first LOL. Anyway. I love this furisode. Yeah, I love peach and pink coloured things. Even Frankenstein said that my fart might coloured pink? WTH!!

The furisode is made from chirimen kinsha fabric. I didn't know about that fabric well actually. But it's not as smooth as silk. More like crepe. I really have to make the furisode into a good use. MUST!

I left this comment to the shop's page:

Hello, Sis, this is me, one of your customer .
I love and adore kimono since junior high school but all I can do was observing their beauty and wondering how such fabrics and coordinates can make stunning appearance; and yes, I love Japan. About a years ago, I'm in a verge of wanting the real kimono (in this case vintage made in Japan ^_^) but couldn't find any local store distributing those kind of kimono. I also fond of kitsuke. It's so elegant and delicate. And...yes, I finally found your shop. I got the information from Kaskus actually, and then I was redirected to your multiply shop. Oh God, thank you! This is what I really want. So yeah, I just mustered my courage to contact you. I have zero knowledge about kimono fabric at that time so I just left all to you. Thank you, I love kimono more. I wish to wear them more often in certain occasions . I just wonder how if I wear my yukata to some fancy restaurant or my furisode to my friend's wedding. Ahaha...I need to learn how to tie fukura suzume because otaiko musubi or cho musubi looks plain with the furisode . Oh...I had an idea, how if you put some notes about tying different obi style. It will be great.
I know my comment is considered TL;DR :D:D.

So to put it simply, I should say thank you for the great services. I don't have any complaint toward your goods and service. They are good. I haven't found any match obi for my furisode *sob-sob-sob. Maybe I will look forward for black coloured obi teehee~ The furisode is super gorgeous :D:D. I'm glad the sode isn't too long for my height. I'm only 157 cm LOL.

Keep up with the good work, Sis .
