The key is the left!
Hello, I'm Yukiwa!
This time, I would like to talk about a few years ago when I was a kimono dressing instructor.
I'd like to share with you a phrase that a senior colleague I respect used many times during lessons!
As the title of this post says , "The key is the left"
If you often dress yourself, do you know what this means?
[The key point is the left]
Yes, that's it!
Everyone is often confused
"Which side does the darker one of these obijime go on?"
"What should I do if the left and right sides of my obiage are different colors?"
The answer is, "The key is the left."
The important one is on the left.
The emphasis is on the left.
The darker one is on the left .
That's it.
The same goes for tying a pointed obi.
If the pattern on the front belly is right in the center, it looks a bit unbalanced.
If you can dress it so that the pattern is slightly to the left rather than the center,
It's very beautiful☆
The left side of the collar is also in front (on top).
The accent on the chest is on the left chest.
The kimono on the left has a pattern on the attached sleeve.
If you think about it that way, you won't be confused anymore.
The key is the left. Please remember that.
