A small kitsuke tutorial - my first one, but if the last - that depends on You there if this is of any use to anyone.

I had some trouble with folding my kimono, and one of my friends had no idea how to do it - and since we can't meet to teach her to do this, I've made this.

I was planning to make another one - with description of types of kimono or aboutf kitsuke accesories, but I don't know if it's useful to anyone.

Let me know if this is helpful!

I believe that the background brushes are from :icondarkgarden:'s gallery, but I've changed my computer... Please let me know if I credit te right/wrong person!

PLEASE, if You'd like to re-post this - ASK fist.

btw, got my pins back... maybe I'll run the etsy finally...

that's fantastic, really comprehensive.
May i add that if your using tatoshi, or have the room, you only fold the length of it once instead of twice ^^
I fold mine 2 times because i don't have the room to fit just one fold length. ^^

Thanks so much for this! My host mom in Japan didn't really know how to fold a kimono either, so I've just bee following a "fold where the fold lines are" technique for several months! This tutorial's so handy :D

oh, this one! Yes, I often use that on my kimono, since my dog is allergic and looses lots of fur :3

I didn'y know that it was called a lint roller :)

Well it rolls... and it picks up lint, so...

XD maybe we should call it a sticky-rolling-dust-and-lint-collector!
