Yukata & Kimono (Usumono)

2021 June Kimono Etc
It's only June, and I'm ready for summer, but the Japanese semester runs through July, and Tokyo is still in lockdown until the 20th.
IN the meantime, I'm apparently "All about the kingyo (goldfish), all about the kingyo..."
Speaking of going out drinking, and lack there of... In my boredom, I finished another ghost short-story.
(Click to enlarge. If livedoor permitted pdf uploads, I would post the whole thing.)
IN "other adventures in AF's world"...
So, a seminar student wanted to do her kimono motif presentation on an animal.
Me, OK, which one?
Her, I'm not particularly interested in any of the options. ［prepared in advance by me］
Me, then what animal would you like?
Her, I like dogs.
Me, ？？？
So, just for her, I made a new one.
(The students have to do a 3-4 slide powerpoint presentation; the first slide is just to show them what MUST be included, other information/details they have to think up themselves.)
Speaking of drinking (again) ...
A friend found a place serving alcohol (despite lockdown regulations forbidding it), bless his little heart.
Anyway, I wore this retro yukata (70s?) on Monday (6/7), which I had actually bought to wear as pajamas, but whatever.
*Notice, the kappa (river creature) ojime 緒締 (part of a inro, netsuke, ojime set; of which I only have the latter two), and which I wore upside down, oops.
I had worn the same yukata shortly before (5/30), to a friend's house for dinner (aka izakaya @ home).
Finally, other misc. kimono related stuff, I am working on a project for my 3rd year seminar students.
*Note to self, remember to contact university about borrowing a tatame classroom for this.
The end (for this post anyway).

2020 Kimono Aug-Sep
Recently, this obi keeps popping up on ads, and I was pretty sure I already owned it. And, yep, the earliest photo I can find at the moment is 2017-9-24.
(2017-9-24)
9/14 MON
And then I decided to compare the advice in Tōsei Fūzoku Tsū text, to Ihara Saikaku's description in his A Woman Addicted to Love 好色一代女
9/12 SAT
I'm in a study group for reading "hentai-gana" (Edo period Japanese script writing) and we are reading Tōsei Fūzoku Tsū which is an Edo period sharebon about how to dress as a sophisticate for going to the pleasure quarters. Here is one page of my notes concerning the proper (straw) zōri to wear.
8/30 SUN
And finished one essay of four (three more to go...)
8/27 THU
White shijira-ori, hanhaba obi, ro 絽 haori
8/23 Sun
I also wrote a short ghost tale....
8/17 MON
Too lazy to wear a Nagoya obi, but in the end did do a similar kimono coordinate
However, my friends say I look more like the painting "Lakeside (1897) by Kuroda Seiki (1866-1924)
黒田清輝の《湖畔》1897年（明治30） 東京国立博物館蔵

2020 Kimono August part 1
Aug. 5 (Wed) @ TNM "KIMONO" Exhibition
・Indigo-dyed ro-weave summer kimono with mountain landscapes, Hanhaba Hakata obi, black ro crested haori
藍染 絽小紋 紅葉・山岳 模様、半幅博多帯、黒絽紋付け羽織
Walked to my station without tears, did fine at the exhibition, afterwards managed to walk back to Ueno station with some pain, really wasn't sure if I could manage walking home from my station.

2020 Kimono July part 2
Hamamatsu-shijira Two-piece Kimono
浜松しじら 二部式着物・セパレート着物
米沢織 八寸名古屋帯
Yonezawa-weave 8-sun width Nagoya obi
When I've been in kimono, mostly I have been wearing this one. I bought this two-piece kimono so that I could wear just the upper half while teaching classes online. The top part is actually too short, so at some time I will need to resew it.
July 22 (Wed)
I took my seminar students to the kimono exhibition @ TNM
This was their assignment:
BTW, 20 minutes of my seminar class is available online.

2020 Kimono June-July
Due to online classes etc I have not been wearing kimono regulary, instead I have been wearing samue. But for what it's worth (eyecandy?), here's some recent kimono pics that I do have.
July 22 (Wed)
Yumeji Coordinate Plan for TNM Kimono Exhibition
One should wear dark unpatterned clothes to an exhibition, so one is not distracted by one's own reflection in the glass display cases, but I want to be visible so that my studentts can easily find me at anytime if they have problems.
July 15 (Wed)
浜松しじら

2019 Kimono September Week 4
2019-9-27 (Fri) @ Niiza
Omiya chijimi, really just too hot for anything else.
2019-9-26 (Thu) @ Bunkyo
I'm not sure, but likely an Ojiya chijimi kimono
2019-9-25 (Wed) @ Niiza
Still too hot to wear anything but summer kimono.
Omiya chijimi and Leaf motif Hassun Nagoya obi
2019-9-24 (Tue) @ Minamiza in Kyoto -- Yotsuya Kaidan Kabuki Ghost Play
This is what I really wore (the day before I wore the same thing, but with a light blue obijime)
Ro-weave Edo-komon kimono, Hakata Nagoya obi, Hannya demon obijime
絽の江戸小紋、博多織の名古屋帯、般若面帯留め
Below is what what I had been considering wearing, but it was still too hot. As you can tell in he photo, I had worn this kimono to the Kabukiza in Tokyo (probably last year).
Clockwise from upper left: Hannya demon obijime, Grey Ōshima hitoe (unlined) kimono, Antique-pink velvet Hakata Nagoya obi
般若面帯留め、大島の単衣、博多織の名古屋帯
Another I had considered wearing, but it was both too out-of-season and I felt also too informal for Kyoto.
On the left the poster for the kabuki play, and on the right my summer Ojiya chijimi kimono

There was a discussion on FB about shopping bags and furoshiki. Top left is my pile of shopping bags and furoshiki ready for use at anytime. There's probably at least one umbrella in ther somewhere too. Top right is a furushiki full of hanhaba obi and kitsuke goods I brought to the University on Tanabata for my yukata dressing class. Bottom left is a comparatively large bag I received as a freebie from a bookstore when I bought a ton of books. Bottom right is an example of a (well worn) store tape put on goods to prove purchase when you don't want a bag.

Kimono 2018 August Week III
2018-08-19 (Sun) @ Kichijoji with friends
2018-08-18 (Sat) @ Harujuku with friend
2018-08-17 (Fri) @ Neighborhood
Same yukata as below, different obi
2018-08-16 (Thu) @ Neighborhood
2018-08-15 (Wed) @ Neighborhood
Cotton ro-weave (綿絽) yukata, antique (circa Taishō era) asagao obi in "Ginza-musubi" bow
2018-08-14 (Tue) @ Neighborhood
The yukata I bought on "2018-08-10 (Fri) @ Bunkyo," when I went shopping in Asakusa because the electricity was off at the University
2018-08-13 (Mon) @ Bunkyo
Since the power was off when I went to Bunkyo campus in Friday, I went again today.
2018-08-13 (Mon) @ Neighborhood
Afterwards I went home to grade, and then went out in the evening with "Ukiyo-e Halloween" obi in honor of Obon.

Kimono 2018 August Week II
2018-08-10 (Fri) @ Bunkyo
Went to Bunkyo camous to finish grading, all electricity was off for the day. Very annoyed. Went shopping in Asakusa. New samue (kimono pants and jacket work clothes), new summer tabi, new blue&white yukata, new summer nagajuban. Eeks!
*Which bow is better? This one below? Or "2018-07-29 (Sun) @ Open Campus Bukyo" here?
2018-08-09 (Thu) @ Home?
No photo, no idea
2018-08-08 (Wed) @ Neighborhood
*Got hair done, wore Western clothes for that reason
