The reason for this is the aesthetic sense and consideration that is unique to Japan.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere are two main purposes for wearing kimono underwear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>To make the kimono look beautiful <\/li>\n<li>To make the kimono last longer <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span id=\"To_make_the_kimono_look_beautiful\">To make the kimono look beautiful<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When wearing a kimono, there is no need to emphasize your hips or bust; it is considered beautiful to wear it simply, with gentle curves.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nKimono underwear that has the right amount of support can bring out a person&#8217;s natural beauty.<br \/>\nIn addition, the underwear has a unique design that matches the shape of the kimono, so it won&#8217;t wrinkle easily when you move, giving you an elegant silhouette.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"To_make_the_kimono_last_longer\">To make the kimono last longer<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Kimono underwear made of cotton etc. easily absorbs sweat and sebum stains and prevents excessive chafing.<br \/>\nThis helps minimize wear and tear and keeps your kimono in good condition for a long time.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nBecause kimonos are delicate, they cannot be washed in a washing machine every day.<br \/>\nAdditionally, kimonos are difficult to mass-produce like clothes, and many have unique patterns and designs that are unique in the world.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nWearing proper underwear can extend the lifespan of your kimono.<br \/>\nIn order for a beautiful kimono to be passed down from person to person for decades, it is important to wear underwear for the kimono.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Kimono_basics_What_kind_of_kimono_underwear_should_you_wear_Introduced_in_list\">[Kimono basics] What kind of kimono underwear should you wear? Introduced in list<\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Basic kimono underwear includes the following in order of wear:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Japanese bra<\/li>\n<li>Hem protection<\/li>\n<li> Hada undergarment<\/li>\n<li>Nagajuban (or Hanjuban)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At kimono rental shops, you will often have your kimono fitted from the hem-covering stage. If you know the characteristics and meanings of each type of underwear in advance, you will be able to make many discoveries and surprises from the stage of wearing them.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Kimono_underwear_1_Japanese_bra\">Kimono underwear 1: Japanese bra<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Japanese bras are designed to moderate the movement of the bust while giving a smooth look from the neck to the waist.<br \/>\n(Bras are not required, but many people use them to look beautiful and feel safe.)<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere are various types of Japanese-style bras, including types that fasten with zippers or hooks, and types that can be worn directly over the body.<br \/>\nFor those who want to keep their bust firmly in check, the type that fastens with a zipper or hook is safe.<br \/>\nAlso, since you may sweat a lot, we recommend choosing a material that is highly absorbent.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nYou can also use a sports bra or night bra with thin padding as a bra to wear under the kimono.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Kimono_underwear_2_Hem_protection\">Kimono underwear 2: Hem protection<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>A hem-yoke is a type of underwear that is also called a &#8220;kedashi&#8221; (kedashi), and is similar to a skirt that covers the lower half of the body. The waist part is made of cotton, and the other parts are made of synthetic fiber material (cupro, etc.).<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe purpose of the hem guard is to absorb sweat from around the hips and legs, while also making it easier to move your feet when walking.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere are mainly three types of hem guards:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Loin wrap type (general)<\/li>\n<li>Pants type<\/li>\n<li> Rubber skirt type<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The most standard one is the loincloth type. It is a piece of cloth that is tied around the waist.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe pants type is also called &#8220;steteco&#8221;. It is often worn by people who move vigorously in Japanese dance or who sweat easily in the summer.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe skirt type is characterized by being easy to wear. Since it is a simplified version of a hem guard, it is not often worn in formal attire situations.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Kimono_underwear_3_Hada_undergarment\">Kimono underwear 3: Hada undergarment<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Hadajuban is a bra or underwear worn over the bare skin. It opens in the front like a kimono, and is wrapped around the upper body with the right front facing like a kimono.<br \/>\nDepending on the opening of the back of the kimono, it is important to wear the undergarment with the back collar pulled back.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nSome undergarments have snap buttons on the front, but basically you can just secure them with a string along with the next undergarment you will use.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nHadajuban is completely invisible from the outside when you are wearing a kimono. However, it plays an important role not only in absorbing sweat, but also in preventing the skin from showing through the kimono and preventing the kimono from coming undone.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIn addition, for convenience, there is also a slip (one-piece) type that includes a hem guard and undergarment. The top and bottom of the slip type are connected, so you need to be careful when choosing the size.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Kimono_underwear_4_Nagajun_undergarment_or_half-undergarment\">Kimono underwear 4: Nagajun undergarment (or half-undergarment)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Nagajuban is often misunderstood by first-time kimono wearers as being the same as Hadajuban, but they have completely different uses and functions.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nNagajun undergarment is something that is layered on top of a hem guard and Hadajun undergarment (or slip-type undergarment). Tighten the waist part with Datejime (string) to secure it.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe collar of the Nagajun undergarment is an important part that is visible when wearing the kimono.<br \/>\nIt also serves as the foundation for your outfit, so add a collar core (a core that allows the collar to match neatly) or a half collar (a collar that allows you to enjoy patterns and colors to match the season or location) to make it look neat.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere is also a simple and casual version of Nagajun undergarment called &#8220;Hanjun undergarment&#8221; which only covers the upper body.<\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Notes_on_underwear_when_renting_a_kimono_in_Kyoto\">Notes on underwear when renting a kimono in Kyoto<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wapluskyoto.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" class=\"alignnone size -full wp-image-1035\" srcset=\"https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/waplus-kimono.com\/kyoto\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/image1-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><br \/>\nWhen enjoying a rental kimono in Kyoto, you can enjoy a more beautiful look if you also consider the underwear you wear from home.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Would_it_be_see-through_if_you_wear_brightly_colored_underwear\">Would it be see-through if you wear brightly colored underwear? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>At kimono rental shops, you will often be able to put on the kimono directly over the underwear you have already worn.<br \/>\nWhen wearing underwear from home, we recommend underwear that is a color similar to your skin and that won&#8217;t show through your panties.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nIf you wear shorts in dark colors such as black or red, your underwear will easily show through through kimono in lighter tones such as white or light blue. Also, shorts with three-dimensional strings or elastic may affect the silhouette line of the kimono.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThere&#8217;s no need to be overly nervous or go out of your way to buy new underwear, but it&#8217;s a good idea to be a little careful so that you can wear your favorite kimono with peace of mind and comfort.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Maybe_a_prime_bra_doesnt_go_well_with_a_kimono\">Maybe a \u201cprime bra\u201d doesn\u2019t go well with a kimono? <\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Bras that are designed to make your bust look fuller are not suitable for kimono fashion.<br \/>\nThe larger the difference between your bust and waist, the easier it will be for your bust to rest on top of your obi. Furthermore, bras with tight wires or padding may make it difficult to wear a kimono around your chest.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe underwear used with the kimono does not have to be a Japanese-style bra. Look for what you have on hand, such as sports bras with thin padding, night bras, and wireless bras.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nAlso, if you have any concerns about your body shape when trying on a kimono, one option is to consult a professional kimono dresser. You can create a beautiful silhouette by correcting your waist and chest using a washcloth or towel.<\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Check_your_belongings_at_the_rental_kimono_store\">Check your belongings at the rental kimono store<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The extent to which you should provide your own underwear varies greatly depending on the kimono rental shop.<br \/>\nSome shops allow you to rent everything including underwear, while others allow you to rent kimonos but require you to purchase your own underwear.<br \/>\n<br \/>\nThe best bet is to check the web page of the rental kimono store and contact them directly with any questions or concerns.<br \/>\nUnderwear is an important part of wearing a beautiful kimono, so don&#8217;t be afraid to ask questions.<br \/>\n<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/kyoto\/en\/reserve\/\">Click here for inquiries<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"You_can_do_it_empty-handed_For_kimono_rental_in_Kyoto_go_to_8220Waplus_Kyoto8221\">You can do it empty-handed!
