Hi, there! I’m back with an extremely short guide to kimono!

Disclaimer: I do not pretend to know everything there is to know about kimono and this guide only covers the smallest fraction of information. What is in this guide comes purely from my own knowledge and research, and I am very sorry if I made any mistakes. Let me know if I did and I’ll fix it asap :). I’m also sorry for the terrible drawing of the girl on page 4(rilly rilly bad) :T

Lastly, these pics are massive! Forgive me! m(__)m

LINKS:

(All of these will be in Japanese. There are lots of pictures so it’s okay if you can’t read it!)

1) Kimono (this is the page I referenced for my drawing on page 4. It is a wonderful breakdown of kimono structure and the artist shows much more detail than I did. Check this link out for sure!)

2) Obi Reference #1

3) Obi reference #2 

4) Obi reference #3

5) Moar obi!1!

6) Google Japan image search results for ‘kimono’

7) Google Japan image search results for ‘obi musubikata’ (obi  how to tie)

And that’s all! I hope this was useful for anyone wanting to draw kimono but perhaps having a little trouble with the details :)
