How do you wear a kimono?

Asked by jaiyan (181points) May 18th, 2011

I remember you have to fold one side over the other in a particular order, because they wrap it the opposite way for burials.

I can’t remember which way your supposed to do it if your… well breathing, this is quite annoying because I need to know for a report.

Kimono Robe & Japanese Robe Instructions

1.Put on the kimono robe

2.For both men and women, wrap the right side of the kimono over the body, then overlap it with the left side. Right on top of the left is only used to dress a corpse for burial.

3.Tie the kimono robe sash in a double knot at the front

4.Turn the japanese robe sash until the knot is center back.
