Lesson 11 Let's try | Erin's Challenge! I Can Speak Japanese. Contents Library

Yukata is Japanese summer kimono. We wear yukata to go to see fireworks or for summer festivals.

What you need is a yukata,

an obi sash, some cords and an obi board.

Put your arms through the sleeves, hold both sleeve edges and pull them straight.

Stretch out both arms to the front and hold both sides of the neckband of the yukata.

Hold the right neckband and place it on the left side of your waist.

While holding the right neckband, bring the left neckband over the right side. Both women and men do the same.

Next, tie the cord around the waist.

Then tie the cord around the chest.

Put the obi on your back, and wrap it around your stomach from the left side.

Tie the obi in front.

Fold the remaining part of the obi.

Bind the folded part with the other end of the obi.

Turn the obi bow around to the back.

Tuck in the remaining part beneath the obi.

Finally, put the obi board under the obi.

You are done.
