Kimono Kitsuke Accessories

The Art Of Wearing Japanese Kimono

Contrary to popular belief most Japanese kimono are not held on by an obi, but rather an assortment of unseen accessories. Traditional Kimono require a wide range of dressing accessories to make their look come together just right in a traditional and even an alternative fashion. With the proper assortment of accessories, most kimono will last the crisp and fashionable look so desired by many. The most common kimono accessory is called a koshihimo, which actually hold authentic kimono on the body.

    Han-Eri

    Decorative Collars For Juban

    Haneri are decorative collars that are sewn onto juban by any gender. When a juban is worn under a Japanese kimono in a traditional style the haneri collar is seen under the kimono. Typically the haneri is interchangeable and may be changed to better accommodate the style and formality of the authentic kimono worn. These decorative collars can be made in a wide variety of styles and from many different kinds of fabric. When sewn onto the collar of a juban the haneri creates a pocket that the collar stiffener known as an erishin may be attached to. It is considered improper to wear a juban under a Japanese kimono without a haneri.
