Just a normal half Juban is relatively cheap in case of a mass production.

But if you want it made of whole linen, it’s expensive.

You can choose color and fabric you like if you make it on your own. How about you sew half Juban? 😄

Hi, tea ceremony is based on many rules so we don't have to talk nor explain what to do during tea ceremony.
So in this video, I said Japanese sentences only twice, but you can understand still ;)

Ready-made yukata/kimono is cheap but has limit of size and fabric 😥

Japanese dance is not very famous in the world though tea cereony and kimono are famous.

This time I would like to introduce this dance culture in Japan with English explanation.

Japanese dance may be hard to understand, but it's alright. I added description on each dance move so you can understand what Japanese dancers do.

I'm a man and cannot teach how to wear woman's yukata and kimono sadly.

Kimono-professional women wound me don't speak a foreign language.

So I wrote a program to translate her speech to the other languages.
This is English, but I'll upload the other language version later, that's French, Italian, German, Chinese, Korean and etc. 😄

I hope foreigners can easily learn kimono and yukata!

How to wear yukata for men, in Chinese! 😄
I haven't learned Chinese but gave it a try for the first time.

As you may know, Japanese tradition is shrinking inside Japan. So I think I need to tell this culture to both of outside and inside of Japan.
