# "Taoyame Kimono Lesson" @ Hanamibako 2017
Akane Makino, who lives in kimono 365 days a year.
By living in kimono every day and looking closely at kimono,
She will talk about the "power of kimono" that she experiences.
Why does a kimono have "furi" (a hanging part of the sleeve)?
How does that "furi" affect the body?
What is the true nature of the miyatsukuchi (sleeve opening)?
How can one wear a kimono comfortably?
・
Akane rarely uses padding when wearing everyday kimono.
Kimono dressing classes for beautiful wearing are important, but
"Wearing it like everyday life"
Like Mrs. Fune, like rakugo, like women in old photographs...
Many people have probably wished at some point to wear a kimono as if it were a part of their body.
If you don't prioritize a perfectly smooth, wrinkle-free look like in magazines,
If you grasp the key points,
You can wear a kimono comfortably without it coming undone.
This is closely related to the relationship between the structure of a kimono and our bodies.
About kimono, about the body...
If "wearing a kimono for comfort" becomes an option in your daily life,
Your life might change a little.

〈Akane Makino〉
Born in 1977. From Shizuoka. Graduated from Kyoto University Faculty of Law.
Moved to Kyoto for university, discovered and became fascinated by kimono while working part-time at a Japanese confectionery shop.
In her second year of university, she became the '98 Kyoto Kimono Queen and embarked on a path to promote traditional Japanese attire.
In 2003, Kimono Station Kyoto opened, where she served as Chief Director (until 2015). She was involved in casual kimono rental business, kimono styling, and planning and management of events.
Feeling that kimono enveloped and protected her body, she stopped wearing Western clothes and now lives in kimono 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Longing for a life close to the earth, she experiences rice planting and harvesting in kimono.
Currently, she is re-evaluating kimono through pregnancy, childbirth, and childcare, and living her life accordingly.
