How to Put on a Yukata // The Billy Matsunaga Style

This video shows you how to put on a yukata with a method I was researching for years. It is the most simplest and comfortable way and the outcome will be perfect even for beginners.

If you are looking for a more detailed explanation of how I do my oshaori:

Or find another cool obi style for yukata:

Or check out how to make a "emon nuki" (the item for the collar, I use in this video):

Your Kitsuke tutorials are my satisfying videos. Thank you very much. Looking forward for the obi musubi tutorial.

[AyakoAki]

the way you showed of keeping the collar in place is BRILLIANT!

[dpscorpiobrio]

Thank you for your videos! I received my first ever yukata set yesterday and your video helped me try it on, and I am in love! I hope to look for more of the items you used in your video in the future as well as to follow your DIY videos!! I will keep practicing trying on my yukata so that when there are local festivals again I can wear it beautifully!!

I find your videos very instructive. I am; however, having a difficult time locating the two piece waist belt for adjusting the collar. Most I find are only one piece. Would you be able to post a link to where you found that two piece collar belt?

The best and most detailed one that I have found in English! Thank you! I just need to get those elastic belts next time I go to Aeon, I only have the tying ones, which I really struggle with.

[МарияПолетаева-ыщ]

Thank you for so detailed videos! now I whant to sew for myself a yukata =)

[the_dark_forest]

Wow, that is a GORGEOUS yukata.
Thanks for a great, clear and concise instructional video 🙏💝😊

[bise_moon]

I'll use this for reference whenever I get a Yukata, it will definitely help lol

[sophiegoodrich]

Love it. I will get a new yukata next Trip with all accessories

[OmishuKitsuni]

wow, those elastics are so nice! Do you know where I could buy some or something similar?

[mptz]

I love your yukata patterns
It looks so simple and beautiful
I want to wear it🥰🥰🌸

[happinessescape]

Around how long are the elastics (whether absolute size (cm) or relative to one's proportions (2.2x circumference of waist or something))? I'd like to make them since they seem pretty structurally simple, and I'd rather not do international shipping for something I can make in a couple minutes.

I've been looking all over for that two part elastic belt. Nobody has one.

[Minee_kei]

I was wondering if it's okay to wear tabi socks with yukata?

I know it's common to wear yukata without socks but that's not really comfortable to me.

[Icha]

Thank you Billy! You're so funny, it's so fun to watch your videos! Question: Why didn't you just wear a nagajuban underneath the yukata? Cos I don't plan to wear too many layers of clothes underneath my yukata... a nagajuban is okay, right?

[CherriesJubilee]

I have not been able to find a Waist belt" here in the US. Is there another way to put on a yukaka without using this elastic?

[Mugelbbub]

My yukata doesn't open in the sleeves, and has tassels on the ends on the collar, and on the inside, it's also silky and has a pin on bow... it's complicated.. I got it off Amazon, it's really pretty but just confusing to put on

[ulenka]

@Billy Matsunaga Please clarify :) Is yukata with obi belt still yukata or becomes Kimono? I have been looking like crazy for waist belt and could not find anything like you are wearing. I managed to get long elastic belt with clips for hips but no chance so far for long belt for waist :( I hope that you manage to have this item in your web store. Last but not least HUGE THANK YOU for all your wonderful videos. I love it!!!

[Janka]

So if you use these elastic belts, you don't need a datejime? xx Janka :)
