✽ Why Learn Kimono Dressing with Biyori?
Kimono can feel beautiful, but also a little overwhelming at first.
There are layers, ties, small accessories, rules about formality, and many details that are not always easy to understand — especially when learning outside Japan.
Biyori is a place for people who want to approach kimono with curiosity, respect, and real-life practice. You do not need to know everything before you begin. You can start with what you have, ask simple questions, and learn step by step.
My aim is to help you feel more at home with kimono — not only as something to look at, but something you can actually wear.
Learn in a Way That Fits You
There is more than one way to learn kimono dressing.
In my lessons, I guide you through the basics of self-dressing while adapting the details to your body, your kimono, and your experience.
Whether you are completely new or have learned before, we start from where you are and build from there.
Start with What You Have
You are welcome to bring your own kimono and accessories, but you do not need to have a complete set.
If you do not have anything yet, you can come empty-handed and use my kimono, obi, and dressing items during the lesson. This way, you can try kimono first before buying your own pieces.
A Small Group Setting
You are welcome to bring your own kimono and accessories, but you do not need to have a complete set.
If you do not have anything yet, you can come empty-handed and use my kimono, obi, and dressing items during the lesson. This way, you can try kimono first before buying your own pieces.
Understand Kimono, Not Just the Steps
Kimono is more than putting the pieces on in the right order.
We can also talk about coordination, formality, seasons, and manners, so you know what to wear for tea ceremony, cultural events, photoshoots, or everyday outings.
For Wearing Kimono in Your Own Life
These kimono lessons are for people who want to wear kimono in their own life — for tea ceremony, Japan-related events, personal occasions, creative projects, or simply because they love kimono.
The goal is to understand your kimono better, feel more confident dressing yourself, and find a way of wearing kimono that feels natural to you.
Come with your kimono, your questions, and whatever level you are currently at.
You do not need to prove your knowledge before starting. The lesson is a space to try, adjust, ask, and slowly build confidence — one layer at a time.
✽ Starting from Zero
For those who want to learn kimono dressing from the beginning, I offer an 8-session beginner course.
Across eight lessons, we take time with the items, layers, self-dressing, obi, and coordination, so you can build a foundation without rushing.
✽ 日和について
日和は、日本を離れて暮らす私自身と、着物との生活から始まりました。
茶道と着付けの稽古を重ねる中で、着物は少しずつ、もっと学びたいもの、着たいもの、書きたいもの、そして誰かと分かち合いたいものになりました。
現在も日本の先生方から学び続けながら、その知識と経験を、ドイツでの着付け、レッスン、文章、文化に関わる小さな活動へとつなげています。
私にとって着物は、コスチュームでも撮影用の小道具でもありません。季節、場面、技術、そして着る人によって形づくられる衣服です。
このページが、着ること、学ぶこと、読むこと、人と集うことを通して、着物にもう一歩近づくための入口になればと思います。

Why we love kimono
Biyoriが着物を大切にする理由
Kimono is more than a beautiful garment. Each piece carries a sense of season, color, pattern, material, and cultural meaning. The way the collar sits, the balance of the obi, the choice of accessories, and the harmony between the kimono and the person wearing it all shape the final impression.
着物は、ただ美しい衣服というだけではありません。季節、色、柄、素材、帯や小物の組み合わせ、そして着る人とのバランスによって、全体の印象が大きく変わります。衿合わせや帯の位置、姿勢やシルエットなど、細かな部分にも着物ならではの美しさがあります。
At Biyori, we want to share kimono in a way that feels warm, personal, and culturally respectful. We do not treat kimono as a costume, but as a living part of Japanese culture that can be enjoyed with care and appreciation.
Biyoriでは、着物を「コスチューム」としてではなく、日本文化の一部として丁寧に楽しんでいただくことを大切にしています。着物に初めて触れる方にも、安心してご相談いただけるよう、やさしくわかりやすいご案内を心がけています。

Kitsuke dressing service
着付けサービス
Kitsuke is the traditional art of dressing in kimono. Wearing kimono beautifully requires more than simply putting on the garment. The collar line, obi placement, layers, ties, and overall balance all matter.
着付けとは、着物を美しく、そして心地よく着るための技術です。着物はただ羽織るだけではなく、衿元、帯の位置、紐の締め方、全体のバランスによって、着姿の印象が大きく変わります。
Our kitsuke dressing support is suitable for photoshoots, cultural events, tea gatherings, Japan-related events, private celebrations, or special occasions in Düsseldorf, Neuss, and nearby areas.
Biyoriの着付けサービスは、撮影、文化イベント、お茶会、日本関連のイベント、プライベートなお祝い、特別なお出かけなどにご利用いただけます。デュッセルドルフ、ノイス、NRW周辺で着物を着たい方は、お気軽にご相談ください。
Private kitsuke lessons
マンツーマン着付けレッスン
For those who would like to learn how to wear kimono by themselves, Biyori also offers private kitsuke lessons. These lessons are suitable for beginners as well as people who already own kimono but feel unsure about how to wear it properly.
ご自身で着物を着られるようになりたい方には、マンツーマンの着付けレッスンも行っています。まったく初めての方はもちろん、着物や帯を持っているけれど着方に自信がない方にもおすすめです。
The lesson can be adjusted to your pace and level. You can learn how to prepare the kimono, wear the layers, adjust the collar, tie the obi, and understand the small details that make kimono dressing feel more natural and comfortable.
レッスンでは、着物の準備、着方の流れ、衿合わせ、帯結び、着崩れしにくいポイントなどを、ご自身のペースに合わせて練習できます。わからないところをその場で質問しながら進められるため、安心して学んでいただけます。
Kimono experience for photoshoots, events and special occasions
