How much does it cost? Do you rent or do you buy?
UsualLoser
Oh god no... Yeah we totally need more of this and the idiots in raggy disguise on go karts. Can you be more annoying and tacky, tourists?

Hello, this rental store is owned by Japanese people and my friend Peach Milky works there as their official model, they hire her regularly to model new arrival. She invited me to do this photoshoot as the owner wants to promote their services to tourists as it is not well known to foreigners and the owners want to make it more inclusive to tourists. The owner thank me very much for making this video which helped them promote their japanese owned business to a wider audience. I hope this helps.

Already did! My fiancée and I went to Kyoto and did this. It was fall time and she had a kimono with a white base, but it was covered with red and yellow flowers and a red obi. Since it was fall, all the leaves around us were red and yellow and orange and she fit right in. We had a professional photographer as well so we have phenomenal pictures!
yuzupyon
That's awesome I am glad you got to enjoy the culture together 😊
ionicseraph
Think they'd be ok if a 6'5 bear tried wearing a kimono there?
yuzupyon
Yes it's for men as well :)
GravyEducation
Well that's adorable
spartanatreyu
I hope this stays a thing. They were cool to see in Kyoto, I'm just worried about a few bad/inconsiderate tourists ruining it for everyone else.

Im sure the pics were stunning! @OP
Im brand new to the modeling world but have been thinking of doing a modern/Kimono style shoot, if you want to do a collab or talk project ideas feel free to DM me! :)

Over the years of our visiting Japan my wife and I have made many wonderful friends. Recently we have discovered that in many households' family Kimono present the same problem as Aunt Gertrude's fine bone china, i.e., no one in the next generation wants them. This is to say that my wife has been gifted several incredibly beautiful hand painted silk Kimono and brocade Obe. We're not quite sure what we will do with these, but they were too beautiful to leave behind.

I would love one. I didn't know where to wear it though. Probably, like the China, people might cut it up for new things
yuzupyon
I would die to get handed down beautiful Kimonos omg you're so lucky

There are loads of places that rent out kimonos, particularly in Kyoto.

SUCK IN THAT GUT WHILE THEY'RE WRAPPING YOU

I have a question..... How did they poop?
psugab
Carefully and probably only when not going out
PorterPickUp
A lot of slips were essentially bottomless and breezy. To poop or pee you just grabbed the rim of your dress, lifted a bit from the ground, and squatted.
mrsdowneyjr
The split drawers pull apart, everything else you just lift carefully
Z0op
They drag that tent around, they can just squat anywhere i suppose

the newer versions aren't as portable

My half-Japanese wife won't even get her kimono sent from back home. 🙄 Funny thing is, she walks like she's wearing one! Gods she'd be cute!
TacticalAssaultUnicorn
Kimono stress me out. My grandma makes me wear a Junihitoe worth like $50K to formal events, and I always get paranoid.
yuzupyon
I am sorry to hear you have had bad experiences with Kimono in the past :(
Patron03041
dont worry about it, the comment you replied to was made from a known bullshitter. they make up stories as they go. formerly known as dr elizabeth takeda on here.
BlindGardener
My spouse does this sort of thing when visiting Japan
shalafi71
My spouse is half-Japanese, owns a kimono, still won't get it sent to America. Such a damned shame. 😔
AlexSomething
That's really courageous of him.
GravyEducation
Kimono rental is like the rent a swag store from Parks and Rec! Aka a surprisingly brilliant idea. Bet they make some good money
Noahbalboa82
They got something similar to that in Disneyland, but for kids
ArcRaider
Long time no see yuzu, hoping you weren't banned from the platform like UK users
yuzupyon
They did what to UK users ???
SuperMermaidNinja2Turbo
You know Peachmilky? Cool! You both look so pretty!
yuzupyon
Thank you! We have done a few collabs together and a new Final Fantasy one is upcoming too! Thank you for the kind words :)

Ryne and Gaia? It would be a shoe-in 😅

I was in Tokyo 2 years ago and went to a major dept store that had Kimonos. I wanted to buy one for my wife but was surprised to see prices in the range of the equivalent of $700-800 USD. I'm going back this year, any places that sell them for less?
yuzupyon
Those are already cheap especially if they are brand new. They're handmade
Lovethesmelloftoastedsourdoughbread
TIL! I didn't realise they were handmade. Thank you for replying! 😊
yuzupyon
I mean some of them, especially the cheap pnes might be mass produced, but if this was a real Kimono store then they're artisans products
Lovethesmelloftoastedsourdoughbread
You just triggered a memory. 😊 I recall now that the sleeves were unfinished and that they would measure you and finalize the garment thereafter. Beautiful stuff, I just had no clue about the $$$.

cultural appropriation is not wrong unless done by 'influencers' for insta clicks
HandsomePenguin
Look up the definition of cultural appropriation you brain dead moron. You being offended for an entire group isnt the same thing. Moron.

Ohdearaudrey
Ah, was waiting on the moron that posted this
nero4ty2
And here I thought there might be a post without a mention of cultural appropriation
volcabsol
This is definitionally not cultural appreciation you fuckin' toddler, that isn't what those words mean. This isn't like a white person wearing a war bonnet, this is travelers to a country engaging with the people and the culture of that country in a respectful, appropriate manner by learning how they wear a (traditional, accessible, non-religious/officiatory/etc) garment in the proper way.
Zottel89
No one in Japan is opposed to visitors wearing traditional clothing, actually you're being encouraged to and japanese people will take pictures of you to show their family at home, especially if you have blonde or red hair. Have experienced this firsthand.
This is not cultural appropriation.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
> especially if you have blonde or red hair
they do have a bit of a thing for fair skin and light hair - you can be an uggo but if you're blonde you're kinda big in Japan (sorry Alphaville)
causality
Well you see, Japan doesn't have a bitch-ass culture that fears other people adopting its practices and styles.
ByThePowerOfSCIENCE
I think it's all about respect of the culture you're using elements from - putting on a bindi for fashion without understanding what it means is questionable; a proper kimono that Japanese people welcome you to wear wouldn't be
wiregeek
Unless I missed something and you were recently made Minister Of Kimono Usage, lighten the fuck up.
PleaseRespectMyAsshole
Is it cultural appropriation when the people are the ones encouraging it?
ThailandExpress
not anti-komono nor anti-cultural appropriation, im anti-influncer
HandsomePenguin
Well then why did you bring it up? You might not like influencers, but you used cultural appropriation as your reason. Brain dead moron.
