Do tea ceremony hosts usually wear Plain-colored kimonos in tea rooms? In the video, the color of the host's kimono looks very dignified and elegant.

Thank you for watching. The kimono I'm wearing in this video is a "homongi", a type of kimono with patterns for formal occasions. As you pointed out, it's more common to wear a plain, unpatterned kimono called "iro-muji" in a tea room. In tea ceremonies, attire varies depending on the season and one's status. I often choose iro-muji because it is versatile and easy to wear.

@@miyako_salon Sorry, I accidentally posted my comment in the wrong place. I was actually referring to the kimono worn by the host in the video titled 'Tips for Enjoying Matcha at the Table: Tea Ceremony in a Chair (Ryurei)' from November 3, 2022.

@@leipeng-pz7yl Oh, I see. She's also wearing iro-muji. And there's a family crest, called "mon," embroidered on the back. Kimono with a family crest is considered formal wear. In the tea ceremony, iro-muji with one crest can be worn as formal attire, depending on the obi. The reason why you see so many iro-muji in tea rooms is because they are often not just plain ones, but family crested iro-muji. A solid colored kimono certainly looks dignified. It's because it's beautifully worn. Her beautiful way of wearing a kimono is the result of her effort.
