Traditional Bunkin Takashimada Hairstyle Process
In this video we visit Atelier Iro in Kyoto, Japan.
Here they provide Kimono wearing experiences for their guests. Whether they want wedding photos, are doing day-trips to Kyoto and want to wear Kimono around town, or have models for freelance ventures. They provide full make-up and hair styling to produce that traditional Japanese look.
There are many facets to Nihongami that I never knew about. So I felt privileged to learn about this traditional hairstyle from Chika-san.
I hope you enjoy the video and come visit their shop!

"Iaido it's not about cut or kill" In certain case yes : it's about killing your ego by cuting him in half. That's why wee have imaginary oponent : The oponent is just a reflect of your ego you facing in a fight.
I learned a lot. Thank you. Great video, writing, editing. Spectacular 👏🏽
Thank you so much!
Super cool to see these old techniques in action. It was fun going there and seeing it all in person. ❤
I agree 😁
Glad you're still posting
I put this in my queue to watch while I did something else, because I didn't think I'd be that interested in a video about this topic. But I couldn't walk away-- you did that good of a job, and the ladies were so interesting to watch and listen to. I'm glad that wearing kimono for men is much simpler!
Haha thanks Dan! That means a lot! Especially to my friends who helped edit this video!
WOW! interesting! and nice interview❤
Thank youuuu~ ^o^/
Amazing work once again dude ❤
You and Tomomi made it work ;)
日本髪の技術は素晴らしいですね! きものも着付けも美しい🙌
ありがとうございます!
This was great ty
Thanks for watching! ^^
This video is so immersive.. Thank you for making it. Please a make video about the influence and impact denim jeans had on Japan in the 2000's era
Thanks for your kind words! I'll try to make more videos on the topic :)
Iaido is so cool
I think so too! :)
How long will a handle last in combat/years. And with the inserts of paper, can it be cleaned for blood and gore? I bet cleaning the Katana was also a craft back then.
They were replaced quite often I think, due to wear and tear. Samurai who could afford it would change the wrapping every year around New Year's I believe.
Hi
Hello
Stunning work, the dedication these artisans have for their individual areas of expertise is humbling, and the results speak for themselves when it all comes together.
I just passed the test for 4 kyu today. Very much looking forward to the INF Seminar in Colorado this July! :)
Sweet! Congrats!
huh so its the same with tebori?
Hi! You mean whether they use a machine or tebori?
They don't need that much cloth covering, just the tiniest of pieces
Thank you for your interview ! could you make more videos of organic food and pesticides in japan please ?
Hi! Yeah that'd be fun! I'll try to get in touch with more farmers :)
@@Q2Japan Thank you !!!!
Absolutely awesome. 😃
Thanks for watching!
Hi
hallo, it's great artwork, how much cost for half sleeve?
Bro is yolked
I'm joining a Toyama Ryu dojo next month. Just trying to get some things in order beforehand. I'm super excited to expand my martial arts journey.
Sweet! Have fun!
日本人は中国人や朝鮮人と外見は似ています。でも、遺伝子はだいぶ違います。日本人は、中東、古代イスラエル、ヒッタイト、漢族、苗族、朝鮮、アイヌ、隼人の血などが流れています。(ハワイ人の血も流れていると聞いた事があります。)
The girl in the middle looke peruvian asian, the finish is an asian language and probably the first people came from Asia, the actual finish are mixed now
Fantastic video. Thank you. My Father was stationed in Japan on a Medical ship during the Korean war. He brought back many toys like these. I grew up with them as a kid and started collecting them myself as I got older. Not very easy to do in the US. Impossible now. A couple of ideas for videos - I have a strong interest (and a small collection) in Post War Japanese Pop music - 1940s; 50's & 60a. The records, the artwork on the sleeves and the music. That might be an interesting topic. The artists; the studios and the companies that produced them. Also, the factory that makes Isamu Noguchi's Akari Light sculptures - still by hand, might be very interesting and along these lines. Thanks again.
Thank you! And yeah that sounds like a neat topic. I'll add it to the list! Cheers!
I really disagree with the framing of the old guy. It seems like he has some sort of insecurity or something to want Japanese people to take DNA tests. He will be very disappointed lmao. Yes, human beings did start in the continent of Africa, and we are still extremely similar genetically if not near identical. However, the small adaptations human beings began to develop differentiates them from each other. South Saharan Africans have very dark skin while Europeans have very light skin. East Asians developed epicanthic folds on their eyes (monolids) which differentiates them from others. Identities are built off of physical characteristics and culture. I agree with the lady in the orange jacket. Genetics are quite the dice roll.
you can speek italian ? i'm wow
They are not naked! 😢😢😢
The edo era hair and makeup of women reminds me of Georgian women style hair and makeup, or rococo. They all looked like porcelain dolls.
Interesting!
This is a fantstic video, very informative and truly a joy to watch. I would love to know more about the descriptive names for varying shades of black and brown in Japanese hair but so far I'm struggling to look them up. Hopefully I'll be able to find something soon!
Thanks for watching! It's a bit hard to find information on it in English. But I hope you find it!
Make me feel like starting kyudo tomorrow 😊!
Please do Rafi ;)
Good to hear🎉🎉🎉
I feel like these handle makers are the same level of highly skilled and dedicated craftsmen as the swordsmiths themselves. So are the polishers. It's mind-boggling how many people are involved to craft a real Japanese katana.
Yeah it's a lot of specialized skills that unfortunately isn't economically viable in this day and age. But I really respect their dedication!
Aren’t the ‘Yubari King’ peaches the world’s most cost full peaches for their taste and high price?
Oh I'm sure they are! The Shimizu Hakuto are just a famous variety in Okayama :)
What about weeds ??
Nice video! I did kendo when I was 7, but was too young to enjoy it. some 25+ years later, I started again and now I’m really enjoying it! House kendo ftw!
Oh nice! Glad you're having fun! And thanks for the thoughtful comment!
Where I'm from, rice is essential for food, there is no lunch without rice for most lunches, also in some breakfasts and dinners.
This was great! Really enjoyed the part where the different martial arts were compared to different wizarding houses ! House kendo!!!! 😂
I appreciate it my friend 😁 thanks for all your help!
It’s really cool. Actually I was looking for a video like this because I’m thinking about doing a japanese-like interior design for my home and I was thinking about putting tatamis on the floor. And I wanted to know if the embroidery could be made with different colours other than green (purple for me) and designs. Now I know thinks to you 😊
Nice! I hope you find the right designs for your ideal setup!
@@Q2Japan i designed my crest in a japanese style. I made some researches to define what I could use or not and I came up something nice 😁
Why no English translation of Japanese telop by players?
There should be if you press the CC button! :)
Amazing video ! Came out amazing ❤
@@KhalidAskar cheers man! :)
It is a fascinating, underrated weapon. Greetings from a Karateka from Germany. 😊
Thanks for watching! And greetings from Okayama!
@@Q2Japan Thank You!
What is mint lab?? I live in yakage but I can’t seem to find it… also yakage has done such a big upgrade in these past couple of years so please come again lol! Maybe we could even meet.

Thank you so much!

Oh! I'll have to check for updates from them!
@@Q2Japan now you just need to search up the first things and it'll show up
After seeing the video, I don’t know if I like the emperor Meiji anymore 😅 He modernised indeed Japan but I feel something were almost lost culturally by embracing the western way of life. Right now, I’m just glad it wasn’t lost at all.
Definitely a lot was lost with westernization. Thanks for watching!
