Kimono Shopping on a Flea Market // Flea Market in Fukuoka

[@Nariasan]

That dragonfly obi is to die for!❤❤❤ And the striped nagoya obi is also gorgeous. I hope you successfully get the mold out.

[@tinamoreland434]

I just have to say, more husband content would be awesome! He seems so chill and nice! :)

[@melisawilson1082]

Yes! He looks like a great guy to have around, cute sweet and chill was thinking the same💯❤🙏🏼🙌🏼

[@mianhaeioi]

Some flea markets have names! In Kyoto, the one at Toji (every 21st) is called "Kobo-san" and across town at Kitano-Tenmangu (every 25th) is "Tenjin-san"

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Yeah, when you look for them they have great names. But when you don't know the name, it's good to search with the basic names. :) This obi is just sooo perfect!! I'm so happy I found it. Aaah... I can't wait to tie it!!

[@DanielleIngramPiano]

I've been watching all your channel's videos all month long, I love them! ❤️ I wish I knew about your channel before I went to Japan last summer, I could have searched for flea markets 😩 I did buy several yukata in Japan and have enjoyed wearing them over the summer months. But from watching your channel, I now want to find and wear kimono, too! 👏😊 I hope to return to Japan again and explore Hokkaido and Kyushu. Your videos and your kimono stylings are so inspirational...thank you! 🤗

[@BillyMatsunaga]

thank you so much! hope you will have chance to come to Japan again and also enjoy flea markets. When you ever come to Kyushu, hit me up!! And I hope that my channel will provide all you need to start your kimono adventure!! :)

[@ClearlyPixelated]

Dragonflies and water motifs! So refreshing for summer. That is so perfect!

[@BillyMatsunaga]

ClearlyPixelated hihihi! Yeah!! I can’t wait to wear it 🧡

[@lucygraham12]

Agreed the green hat was amazing. But no regret required you still got to enjoy it and put it on even for the shortest moment you still got to feel the joy and keep the memory on the wonderful video! Thanks for sharing market places are my favourite I feel very blessed to walk it with you 🙌🤩👌

[@originalkingdomhearts]

Could you do a video on how you went about learning Japanese?

[@amalilconfused]

Your YT channel is now my go to channel for all Kimono related things. Great videos, content, and I love that though we do have Japanese terms, the tutorials are easy to understand. Eagerly waiting for more of your videos, Billy!

[@michaelablum2151]

I really like your video, they are just so friendly und professional looking. The dragonfly obi is really cute. If I ever get the chance to visit Japan I definetely want to go to a flea market and buy loads of kimono and obi. Please stay safe and have a good time at home! P.s you really should have gotten the green hat, it was just gorgeous

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Yes, it's so much fun! When you will ever come to Fukuoka, we can go together and go shopping at flea market. P.S.: Thank you!! I knooooww... I do regret not buying it...

[@KirileeCosplay]

This makes me want to go back to Japan as soon as possible. Thank you for sharing. Gorgeous finds btw

[@indravanessac.3931]

Ich bin froh, dass ihr noch etwas zu tun habt! Hoffentlich beruhigt sich die Situation schnell. In Japan scheint alles noch ruhiger als in Deutschland. Schön, dass es euch gut geht! 💁🏼💕

[@felichia808]

I love your KZbin uploads 💖 Awesome to see the kimono flea market, I would buy way too much since there were SO MANY GREAT ITEMS! Love the beautiful items you bought, bummer about the nagajuban missing sleeve 😔. I live in Hawaii, so humidity makes wearing kimono uncomfortable. I have many kimono I keep carefully stored. Winter in Hawaii I can sometimes wear kimono. Domo arigato gozaimasu 💖

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Thank you so much!! I totally get you!! Kumamoto is sooo hot, too, and it's always challenge to wear kimono in summer. Hopefully you'll have some more chance to wear kimono! Thanks for your lovely comment!!!

[@tylinious]

I like the blue hat and the asanoha black kimono you showed when you said "lots and lots of cheap kimono"

[@Nariasan]

The green hat was very nice, but that sewing machine is a dream ❤ I want it lol

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Nariasan both of them were a dream... I regret not buying them... but, oh well... 😪😪

[@vidaantolin-jenkins3166]

Ah, fond memories of my years in Japan and going to the markets. Thank you! (And it's time to get my kimono out and figure out what to do with them.)

[@vidalyn]

Oh wow the kimono you wore around 6:00 is so gorgeous and suits you very much 😍 it exudes elegance just had to comment 💗

[@sibyllescholz]

Love your show.

[@sharonrimsza7960]

Love your channel.

[@unluckypuppy13]

The beginning of the video scared the crap out of me loll headphones haha

[@leelasamaroo6736]

The dragonfly obi is super cute! Very pretty. Most of the summer obi I come across are very plain. Lucky find!

[@keziahpapaya488]

Ooooh, I am SO envious of that Tombo Obi! I have quite an affinity with Tombo as a motif - a great deal of my training equipment and accessories feature them. I even have a Tombo maedate for my custom-made Yaroi! You certainly scored well with this Obi, please let us see you wearing it some time?

[@siby913]

hello Billy !! you bought good items and not expensive !! good video!!👏😊

[@BillyMatsunaga]

abdoulay siby than you so much!!!’ ❤️❤️

[@siby913]

[@jourdainhiini6548]

You should have got both hats. I love the dragonfly Obi. The dragonfly motif is one of my favourites.

[@greenland5313]

The fact that some guy sold only the sleeve of the nagajuban is hilarious to me.

[@fabricsofcolours3149]

Omgggggg have to go thereeeeee asap thanks for sharing. How do you pick oneee

[@melisawilson1082]

Wow..so jealous!😆😅 how much were the yukatas and kimonos??❤❤❤ so funn!!Godbless Sis

[@claudian1891]

Watching thsi for the second time and seeing that flee market make my fingers itch! When I revisit Japan again I'll defo look into flea markets where they have kimonos! When you go throgh those boxes I feel like I'd buy 2 boxes full! XD

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Hihi! I really hope you can come back soon and storm the flea markets ❤️ they’re so much fun, aren’t they?

[@momotsukino6441]

Billy chan, konnichiwa! What do you do to get rid of the vintage smell of obi and kimon please?

[@medeaflautist]

Your husband really is not buying into the whole face mask thing hahah. As usual great video! I had fun vicariously through you

[@catherinewells2480]

You definitely should have got that hat !!!

[@salz-tokyo]

Omggg the hats!!!

[@chrishipop5]

this is so cool. what are the prices like for kimonos?

[@madaffi2434]

I went to Toji market in Kyoto yesterday! Bought only 1 obijime because I came in without a "plan of action" and didn't want to buy random pieces on a whim

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Oh, yeah... I totally get you and I think you did the right thing. It's so important to have a plan, when going to a flea market. And it helps a lot when first getting the idea about the flea market and then shopping the next time.

[@deborahduthie4519]

Wow!

[@aniketmakhija474]

have you ever thought about a 100 years of kimono

[@TealCheetah]

Even at flea market prices, I'd go broke if there was a place like that near me.

[@Abby_454]

[@zoukatron]

Did you actually buy that hat? As a keen hat guy, I can't comment much without seeing closer. ;)

[@agypsycircle]

If I ever make it to Japan, my wallet will be in trouble!!!!

[@mclovinfolgle4488]

Your husband is a very attentive driver.

[@kittagp]

I googled it and found it but they didn't add open hours. If anyone could post at least when it's likely to be opened, I would apreciate. Thank you very much.

[@AafkeArt]

You should have gotten that hat. It's very "you". 😃

[@BillyMatsunaga]

AafkeArt aww, thank you!! And yess!! I thought so, too, while editing the video... 😪😪

[@remigiuszsomka4384]

Is it possible to buy a good kimono or haori cheaply online?

[@BillyMatsunaga]

Yes! You can check out my spring haul I’ve posted 2 years ago (??). It’s all from the same online store.
