We sold lots of Kimono and Obis. They were almost sold out!
Click here for the Video.
 
I was so happy to know that non-Japanese people also like Kimono.
There was a customer that came from Taiwan, she bought four kinds of Kimonos.
There was a girl that wanted to show her grandma in Japan the Kimono picture for the first time.
Everyone had different thoughts about wearing kimono.
We can also dress you for Sechigosan and Seijinshiki.
We welcome offers for events like this.
Please contact us.

Professional Kimono Classes, Okuden Course Started!

12/29/2012

1 Comment

 
We offer Kimono dressing classes, Yamonoryukisou in California. Every year we hold professional kimono classes, an Okuden course for six months followed by an examination to be a Kimono stylist that can qualify around the world. This license is recognised by the Association of international beauty and Health Minister. We started Okuden course last week.
Picture
We start from reviewing things learned in Beginner classes, Shoden Course and Chuden course. Students who took Shoden course and Chuden course can dress themselves in Komon, Furisode and Kurotomesode. And they can also do Obi in Ichijyudaiko and Nijyudaiko( Single Taiko and Double Taiko).
Picture
Later in class you will learn the history of Kimono and culture of Kimono. This should be an interesting category for people who like Kimono. They are studying hard to be Kimono stylists this year!
Picture
Six months from now they are going to learn how to dress kimono for costumers.
Picture
So far there are thirty three Kimono stylists from Yamanoryukisou in the U.S. This year will be the sixth examination. We are expecting all the stylists to spread Kimono and Japanese culture to American community!
