This is the first kimono guidebook by Sankak (sankak_kimono), a kimono Instagrammer with approximately 300,000 total followers on social media, who shares the kimono dressing process through short videos.
Trying on kimonos over Western clothes and combining colors and patterns have sparked interest, leading people to say, “I want to try this” and “I want to start wearing kimonos.” The book provides a thorough explanation of both the visible and hidden aspects of the dressing process and coordination points in “Sankak’s style,” making it an advanced guide for beginners aiming to master a sophisticated way of wearing kimonos.
It also addresses common concerns such as “Kimonos seem expensive,” “Where can I wear one?” and “The rules seem complicated.” With solutions like “You can start affordably with recycled kimonos,” “It’s even more fun to wear a kimono to drinking parties, theater, concerts, or fan events,” and “Actually, you’re free as long as you respect TPO (Time, Place, Occasion),” the book is packed with ideas that make starting easy. Just looking through it like a photo book can help you appreciate the joy of kimonos.
