I went to Japan about 6 years ago. I was so nervous about trying to wear kimono or haori; I was afraid I'd offend Japanese people by wearing their traditional clothing as a foreigner. I did buy a haori during the trip because I thought it was so beautiful, and the shopkeeper seemed enthusiastic about me wearing it. Still, I didn't wear it while in Japan, and only wore it a few times when I came back home. Since then, I've bought more haori and a couple kimono, and I haven't yet worn the kimono out in full kitsuke, but I do wear the haori increasingly often with my western clothes. They're too pretty to leave in the closet, and now I can see that Japanese people like that other people want to display this beautiful aspect of their culture. When I wear it I feel like I am showing off a piece of this culture I admire so much, so that maybe other people will get interested in it and help the Japanese kimono market to grow again, since I've learned they're not worn as often by the newer generations. It would be so sad to see such gorgeous cultural clothing go completely out of use, so I feel like even though I'm not Japanese, maybe this can help make sure it survives. I was captivated by kimono ever since I was a kid, and that trip to Japan was a dream come true. I hope I can save up enough money again soon to go back there, and go kimono thrift shopping this time, now that I know much more about kimono and kitsuke, and where to find them at prices I can afford in Tokyo. This time, I'll be bold and wear them wherever I go on Japan, I think. This time around I would love to visit Kawagoe and also some hot spring towns, to be around the old buildings and do traditional activities.

That's great comment. Thank you. I felt like I got a nice letter. Do not worry about how we Japanese think of you wearing Kimono. We feel happy to see non Japanese are interested in Kimono. I hope you will come back here soon to enjoy Japanese culture!!

[@AlineSantos-ir1wx]

Thank you for your tips. I just returned from my trip to Japan and I found an amazing Haori (kimono jacket) for myself in Asakusa region.

[@keeonramusic]

Hi Suzy, I love your videos, your smile and relaxed style. Do those stores sell 2 piece kimono which are washable and easier to wear? I found an online only store which will deliver to Australia, but I would like to buy and wear in Japan when we visit. We also want to get washable Yakuta and Hanhaba Obi, denim Samue and Haori. Yes, lots of clothes shopping. Can't wait. I've subscribed and I am watching all of your videos. They are great! 🎉❤

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

Thank you very much for your kind reaction! Actually 2 piece kimono is not very common. You may find one at that recycle store, but I am not sure those are wool or silk. Cotton Yukata should be much easier to maintain and to wear, too. I highly recommend you denim Samui because it's easy to wash and wear. I hope you will have enjoyable time!

[@charlotteniteman204]

Thank you for the video, it was helpful and I would love to learn more about how to fit a secondhand kimono!

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

Thank you for your comment. May I ask what do you mean " how to fit a secondhand Kimono"? Would you like to know how to put it on, or how to choose the best fit one for you? I would like to know your opinion. Your voice is very important!! Thanks!

[@charlotteniteman204]

How can I figure out which one would fit without trying every one on! Should I bring a measuring tape?@@SuzysDiscoverJapan

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

@@charlotteniteman204 you don't need to bring measuring tape lol just ask the shop staff which is your size. They already sorted out according to the size and will show you. It should be easy!!

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

Thanks!!

[@wildanwildan3144]

Wow, great video. Suzy I want to ask, are the men and women sections clearly signed? will I have difficulties since I don't speak Japanese at all when purchasing or trying on kimonos? thanks

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

I don't remember if it's clearly signed. You can ask the staff (they understand that English). The last store Tatsumi is actually separated in three stores. The middle one which is very small entrance is for men's Kimono. The difference between men's Kimono and female's one is just Size and design.

[@kikkerman4644]

Are there secondhand shops for kimono in Kyoto ? Thanks

[@SuzysDiscoverJapan]

Yes!!definitelly yes! There are several shops in each city. Just google " Kimono recycle "then you will find good kimono shop.
