Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a kimono experience providing method that provides a kimono experience including kimono alteration and wearing, and a two-piece kimono. [Background technology]

[0002] The appeal of the kimono, Japan's traditional costume, has spread all over the world due to the refinement and elegance it gives when worn, and kimono experiences in Japan have become extremely popular among foreign tourists. In this kimono experience, users can choose a kimono that suits their taste from a variety of kimonos available for rental, and then have the experience of wearing a kimono by having someone help them put it on.

[0003] On the other hand, because it is difficult to put on a regular kimono by oneself, two-piece kimonos that are easy to put on are available. The following Patent Document 1 proposes a two-piece kimono in which the front and back of the top are separated under the sleeves, and the hem of the back is set to reach near the buttocks when the top is worn, while the hem of the front is set to reach near the position of the hemline when a regular long kimono is worn. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2000-144505 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Two-piece kimonos as described above are easier to put on than regular kimonos (long kimonos), but when offering two-piece kimonos as part of a kimono experience, in order to target not only Japanese people but also foreign tourists whose physiques are significantly different from those of Japanese people, it is necessary to have a wide variety of colors, designs, and patterns as well as sizes. Furthermore, existing kimono experiences only teach you how to put on a kimono, and because putting on a kimono is already difficult, the experience tends to be quite lengthy.

[0006] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above circumstances, and provides a technology that enables customers to have the experience of altering and wearing a kimono in a short period of time. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present invention is a method for offering a candidate the experience of altering and wearing a kimono. The kimono experience method according to this aspect includes a measuring step of having the candidate try on a kimono and marking a specific hemming position on the collar of the kimono according to the candidate's body type, a cutting preparation step of folding the kimono flat and drawing a cutting line on the kimono according to the length from the shoulder to the marking position, a cutting step of having the candidate cut the kimono along the cutting line, and a step of having the candidate hem the top and bottom garments obtained in the cutting step with the cut edges folded inward and then heat-sewn with hemming tape using an iron. the hemmed end of the top garment and the upper end of the bottom garment without a stitch; a bottom garment processing step of attaching a belt loop to the upper end of the bottom garment on the back side with double-sided tape for fabric or hemming tape; a top garment processing step of having the applicant heat-sew one end of each string with the hemming tape using an iron to the inside of a predetermined position above the hemmed end at the end of each collar part in the collar width direction; and a wearing step of having the applicant put on the bottom garment, cosmetic collar, top garment, and obi in this order.

[0008] Another aspect of the present invention is a two-piece kimono comprising an upper garment and a lower garment obtained by cutting a kimono into upper and lower halves. In the two-piece kimono of this aspect, the cut edges of the upper garment are folded inward and seamlessly fastened with hemming tape to form hemmed edges, one end of each string is fastened with hemming tape to the inside of a predetermined position above the hemmed edges at the edge of each collar width direction of the upper garment, the cut edges of the lower garment are folded inward and seamlessly fastened with hemming tape, and belt loops are attached to the upper edge of the back of the lower garment with double-sided tape for fabrics or hemming tape. [Effects of the Invention]

[0009] According to the present invention, a technology can be provided that enables the experience of altering and wearing a kimono in a short period of time. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 6] 1 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of how to wear a two-piece kimono that has been remodeled in this embodiment. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0011] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The following embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are merely examples, and the present invention is not limited to the configurations of the following embodiments.

[0012] FIG. 1 is a flowchart showing a kimono wearing experience providing method according to this embodiment (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as this method). As shown in Figure 1, this method includes at least a kimono selection step (S11), a measurement step (S12), a cutting preparation step (S13), a cutting step (S14), an edge processing step (S15), a bottom garment processing step (S16), a top garment processing step (S17), and a wearing step (S18). This method is carried out by a person who provides a kimono experience (referred to as a provider) for a person who wishes to have a kimono experience (referred to as a requester).

[0013] In this specification, the positions and directions of a kimono, top, and bottom garments will be indicated based on the state when a person wears the kimono or the top and bottom garments described below. Specifically, the left hand side of the wearer will be referred to as "left," the right hand side as "right," the head side as "top," the foot side as "bottom," the back side as "rear," and the ventral side as "front." Furthermore, the side of the kimono, top, and bottom garments that comes into contact with the wearer when worn will be referred to as the "inside," and the opposite side as the "outside." In addition, a regular long kimono is written as "kimono," and the upper part of the kimono that has been cut is written as "top garment" and the lower part is written as "bottom garment."

[0014] The provider prepares a large number of kimonos with a wide variety of colors, patterns, and designs, as well as a wide variety of sizes. The kimonos prepared are preferably reused kimonos. This method also provides a kimono renovation experience, so even used kimonos can be used without any problems, thereby providing an environmentally friendly service that makes effective use of resources. In the kimono selection step (S11), the provider allows the applicant to select a kimono of their choice from the many kimonos prepared in this way. At this time, the provider recommends a kimono that suits the applicant's body type and that the applicant likes.

[0015] FIG. 2 is a conceptual diagram showing the measurement process and cutting preparation process in the kimono wearing experience providing method (this method) according to this embodiment. In the measurement step (S12), the provider has the applicant try on the kimono selected in step (S11) and marks the specific hem fold position on the collar of the kimono according to the applicant's body type, as shown in Figure 2(a). The "collar" of a kimono refers to the long, narrow piece of fabric that extends from around the neck to the front of the body and is sewn to the front and back of the body. When putting on a kimono, the provider supports the wearer by undoing the collar. For example, the provider helps the wearer put on the kimono so that there is a gap of one fist between the back of the neck of the kimono collar and the wearer's neck. At this time, a heavy clip may be attached to the part of the collar that is undoing the collar, i.e., the back of the neck of the kimono collar.

[0016] The "specific edge folding position" refers to a position a predetermined length below the edge folding position when the kimono is put on by a person who wishes to wear it and the collar is opened as described above. The predetermined length here is the length to be folded up in the edge processing step (S15) described later, and is, for example, about 1 cm to 2 cm. "Ohataori" refers to the folded end of the kimono that protrudes below the obi when worn to adjust the length of the kimono, and is also called ohashori.

[0017] Since kimonos are worn with the collar facing right-front, in the measurement step (S12), a mark is made on the edge of the left collar of the kimono in the collar width direction. The term "marking" refers to any marking that allows the specific edge folding position to be identified in the cutting preparation step (S13) described below, and the specific method is not limited thereto. For example, a clip 5 may be attached as shown in Figure 2, a pin may be inserted, a sticker may be attached, or a mark may be written with a pen or the like.

[0018] In the cutting preparation step (S13), as shown in FIG. 2(b), the donor folds the kimono marked in the measuring step (S12) on a flat surface such as the floor or a desk and draws a cutting line on the kimono according to the distance from the shoulder to the mark. Specifically, the donor folds the kimono properly after removing it from the customer so that it is flat and wrinkle-free. It is preferable that the kimono be folded so that the side seams, which are the boundaries between the front and back sections, are parallel on the left and right. The donor then measures the distance from the shoulder to the mark, marks the positions of the marks on both the side seams, and draws a cutting line connecting the marks on the left and right front seams via the mark on the collar.

[0019] In the cutting step (S14), the provider has the applicant cut the kimono along the cutting lines drawn in the cutting preparation step (S13). The top part of the kimono cut here is labeled "top" and the bottom part is labeled "bottom." In this cutting step (S14), it is preferable that the provider supports the customer so that the folded kimono fabric does not shift when the customer is cutting it.

[0020] FIG. 3 is a diagram showing examples of an upper garment and a lower garment, FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a part of an example of an upper garment, and FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a part of an example of a lower garment.

[0021] In the edge processing step (S15), the provider folds the cut edges of the top garment 10 and bottom garment 20 obtained in the cutting step (S14) inward and has the applicant heat-attach them with hemming tapes 15, 25 using an iron, thereby processing the folded edge 16 of the top garment 10 and the top edge 26 of the bottom garment 20 seamlessly.

[0022] At this time, the donor preferably prepares an iron and ironing board, places the underwear 20 on the ironing board, folds the cut edge inward about 1 cm from the cut edge, and secures the area with double-sided fabric tape. The double-sided fabric tape may be applied locally. The donor then applies hemming tape 25 to cover the cut edge folded inward. For example, a 2 cm wide hemming tape 25 is used and applied so that the cut edge is positioned at the center of the width of the hemming tape 25. This allows the person who wishes to do so to heat-attach the hemming tape 25 to the lower garment 20 while covering the cut edges by simply ironing over the already-attached hemming tape 25. However, the hemming tape 25 may also be attached by the person who wishes to do so. In this way, by attaching the double-sided fabric tape before applying the hemming tape 25, the end of the lower garment 20 can be completed quickly and without causing confusion to the person requesting it. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the end is finished seamlessly using the hemming tape 25, so the customer can have a kimono alteration experience in a short time.

[0023] The edge of the top garment 10 may be treated in the same manner as the edge treatment of the bottom garment 20. In Figures 3 and 4(a), the hemming tape used to treat the edge of the top garment 10 is indicated by the reference numeral 15. Furthermore, the edge formed by folding the cut edge 11 inward during the edge treatment of the top garment 10 is referred to as the "hemmed edge." In other words, when the finally tailored top garment 10 is worn and the obi is tied, the hemmed edge is exposed below the obi, so that the hemmed edge can look like the hem of a regular kimono. Such edge processing may be performed on the top garment 10 first, or on the bottom garment 20 first.

[0024] In the lower garment processing step (S16), the provider attaches belt loops 21 to the upper end of the back of the lower garment 20 using double-sided fabric tape or hemming tape, as shown in Figure 5(a). In other words, these belt loops 21 are also attached to the lower garment 20 seamlessly. This simplifies the alteration work and enables the experience to be completed in a short time. Specifically, the belt loop 21 may be made by looping a rectangular piece of fabric of a predetermined width and length so that both longitudinal ends are aligned, and then fastening the ends to the upper end of the lower garment 20 with double-sided fabric tape, or by heat-fastening the ends to the upper end of the lower garment 20 with hemming tape so as to cover the ends.

[0025] In this case, it is preferable that the belt loop 21 is attached between the center line 23 in the width direction of the lower garment 20 and the center line 22 of the back width, as shown in FIG. 5(b). The center line 23 in the width direction of the lower garment 20 can also be called the "back seam." "Back width" refers to the width of one back piece of fabric, and refers to the width of the fabric between the side seam and the back seam. As shown in Figure 5(b), belt loops 21 are attached to the left back body. If belt loops 21 were attached to the right back body, when the bottoms 20 are put on with the right side down and the left side up, the fabric on the left side would cover and hide belt loops 21. In other words, belt loops 21 are preferably attached between the back seam (center line 23) of bottoms 20 and center line 22 in the width direction of the left back body. This makes it easier to insert the webbing of the cosmetic collar between the elastic belt 30 passed through the belt loops 21 and the lower garment 20 in the putting on step (S18) described below. This point will be described in detail in the putting on step (S18).

[0026] In the upper garment processing step (S17), the provider has the applicant heat-attach one end of each upper garment string 18 to the back side of a predetermined position above the folded end 16 at the end of each collar portion in the collar width direction of the upper garment 10 using an iron with hemming tape 17, as shown in Figures 3 and 4(a). The predetermined position is, for example, about 12 cm above the folded edge 16. This is because the right jacket string 18 is passed through the left underarm opening when wearing the garment. At this time, the provider may attach the top strings 18 to the desired positions on the top 10 with double-sided tape for fabric before having the requester wear it with a hot iron. In this way, the top strings 18 are also attached to the top 10 seamlessly, which further simplifies the alteration process.

[0027] As described above, the provider offers kimono remodeling experiences to those who wish to do so through the cutting process (S14), edge finishing process (S15), bottom garment finishing process (S16), and top garment finishing process (S17). This remodeling experience involves remodeling a regular kimono into a two-piece kimono that is easy to put on or wear, and unlike regular kimono tailoring, it can be achieved through simple tasks such as cutting and ironing with hemming tape. This makes it possible for even kimono novices, such as foreign tourists, or those with no experience in sewing, to have a meaningful experience in a short amount of time.

[0028] Furthermore, with this method, because the kimono is cut to fit the body shape of the applicant, a two-piece kimono can be made in the applicant's original size, and as a result, the applicant can wear it in a size that suits them, and because it is a two-piece kimono, it is easier to put on than a regular kimono. Also, because it is made to the applicant's original size, a remodeled two-piece kimono can be provided to the applicant. Furthermore, when wearing a regular kimono, the obi-ori ends are folded in, so when wearing a used kimono made in traditional Japanese sizes, it can be difficult to find a used kimono with a length that fits the desired body type. However, by creating the obi-ori ends by cutting as in this method, even tall people, such as foreigners, can experience wearing a kimono in a size that fits their body type.

[0029] By the way, there are various types of kimono collars, such as wide collars, bat collars, and stick collars. While "Kimono with a bat-collar" or "Boeri" collar are pre-folded (sewn) with their collar width, "Kimono with a wide collar" are not folded and are roughly twice as wide as those with a bat-collar or Boeri. For this reason, when wearing a wide-collar kimono, the width of the collar is adjusted to fit the wearer's body shape, etc. The provider may prepare a group of kimonos such as kimonos with wide collars and kimonos with bat collars, and allow the applicant to select one in the kimono selection step (S11).

[0030] In this case, for example, if the selected kimono is a kimono with a wide collar, in the edge processing step (S15), the provider further performs a collar width adjustment step in which the wide collar of the top 10 is folded in the collar width direction and fastened with double-sided tape for fabric. Figure 4(b) shows a portion of the top 10 after this collar width adjustment step has been performed. In Figure 4(b), the cut edge 11 of the top 10 is folded inward and secured with double-sided fabric tape 13, forming folded edge 16, and the edge in the width direction of the wide-collared collar portion of the top 10 (referred to as collar width edge 14) is folded inward and secured with double-sided fabric tape 13.

[0031] In this way, by stocking multiple types of kimono collars, customers can have more choices for choosing kimono. In addition, wide collars are difficult to adjust, but by fastening them with double-sided fabric tape 13, they can be easily adjusted, making them easier to wear.

[0032] In the wearing step (S18), the provider has the applicant wear the two-piece kimono that has been remodeled in each step described above. Specifically, the provider has the applicant wear the bottom garment 20, the decorative collar 50, the top garment 10, and the obi 60 in that order. At this time, the provider may teach the applicant how to wear the two-piece kimono and support them while having them wear it themselves, or the provider may dress the applicant in the two-piece kimono.

[0033] FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a typical method of wearing a two-piece kimono that has been altered in this embodiment. As shown in Figures 6(a), (b), and (c), the cosmetic collar 50 comprises the collar of a kimono undergarment and a webbing 51 that hangs down from the back of the neck of the collar. This allows the kimono to be worn without an undergarment and makes it easy to adjust the collar. It is also called a tailored collar or a false collar.

[0034] In the putting on step (S18), the person puts on the lower garment 20 as underwear. At this time, the center line (back seam) of the width of the lower garment 20 is aligned with the center of the buttocks, with the right side facing down and the left side facing up. Then, since the elastic belt 30 is threaded through the belt loops 21, the lower garment 20 is fastened by wrapping and tightening the elastic belt 30 around the outside of the lower garment 20.

[0035] Next, the applicant puts on the cosmetic collar 50. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 6(a), the applicant wraps the cosmetic collar 50 around their neck so that the webbing 51 hangs down along the center line of the back, and inserts the webbing 51 between the wrapped and fastened elastic belt and the lower garment 20. As described above, the belt loops 21 are attached at a position offset from the back seam, making it easy to insert the webbing 51, which hangs down along the center of the back, between the elastic belt 30 and the lower garment 20. As a result, the collar opening can be adjusted using the webbing 51. Next, as shown in Figures 6(b) and (c), the person crosses the cosmetic collar 50 with the right side down and the left side up, and then places it between the elastic belts 30.

[0036] Next, the applicant puts on the top 10. At this time, the applicant places the top 10 with the right side down and the left side up, with the center line (back seam) in the width direction of the top 10 at the center of the back. Then, as shown in Figure 6(d), the applicant passes the right top string 18 through the left underarm opening, crosses the left and right top strings 18 at the back, and ties them in front. Finally, the person wearing the obi 60 is wrapped around the garment 10 so that the folded end 16 of the garment 10 is positioned below the obi 60 and appears as a folded end.

[0037] According to this method, a person who wishes to do so can easily wear a two-piece kimono that has been altered from a kimono, and can experience altering and wearing a kimono in a short amount of time.

[0038] Although Figure 1 shows the steps constituting this method in order, the order in which each step is performed is not limited to the example shown in the figure and can be changed as appropriate within the scope of the invention. For example, in Fig. 1, edge processing (S15), bottom garment processing (S16), and top garment processing (S17) are shown in separate steps for ease of explanation, but they may be performed together. That is, the edge processing and top garment processing (S17) of the top garment 10 may be performed in a single step, and the edge processing and bottom garment processing (S16) of the bottom garment 20 may be performed in a single step. The order of top garment processing (S16) and bottom garment processing (S17) may also be reversed.

[0039] [Variations] The above-described method provides the experience of altering and wearing a kimono, but excluding the wearing step (S18), it can also be called a kimono alteration method or a two-piece kimono manufacturing method in which a kimono is altered to produce a two-piece kimono. In this case, the processing that would normally be done by the applicant in each step (cutting, edge processing, etc.) can be done by the manufacturer, and the two-piece kimono that is produced can be identified as follows:

[0040] A two-piece kimono including an upper garment 10 and a lower garment 20 obtained by cutting a kimono into top and bottom pieces, The cut edge 11 of the top 10 is folded inward and fastened seamlessly with a hemming tape 15 to form a folded edge 16. One end of each string (top string 18) is fastened with a hemming tape 17 to the inside of a predetermined position above the folded end 16 at the end of each collar portion in the collar width direction of the top 10, The cut edge of the lower garment 20 is folded inward and fastened seamlessly with a hemming tape 25. A belt loop 21 is attached to the upper end of the back of the lower garment 20 with double-sided tape for fabric or hemming tape. Two-piece kimono. The two-piece kimono described above, wherein the belt loop 21 is attached between the center line 23 in the width direction of the lower garment 20 and the center line 22 of the left back width. The two-piece kimono has cut edges of the top 10 and bottom 20 folded inward and partially secured with double-sided fabric tape, and then thermally secured with the hemming tape 15.
