Artist's Comments
This is something I decided to put together on a whim. I wanted to photograph my new ro geiko ensemble, so I decided to document the process of dressing the manequin with photos.
From those I've put together a very basic tutorial of how to achieve an authentic geiko look with your kitsuke. Great for cosplaying. If you need more detailed information check out these sites: [link] and [link] CLICK THE DOWNLOAD BUTTON TO VIEW THE TEXT AND IMAGES AT FULL SIZE! Now, some vocabulary for beginners: Geiko - Fully fledged geisha. Hikizuri - Long kimono meant to be worn trailing. Hadajuban - Undermost layer put on when donning kimono Juban - Layer between the Hadajuban and the outer kimono Hiyoku - Second layer of fabric around the collar and hem of the outer kimono. This is meant to give the illusion of wearing yet another layer under the outer kimono Ohashiori - Waist fold used to adjust the length of the kimono. Koshihimo - Fabric tie used to secure the kimono in place beneath the obi Obi - Belt used when wearing kimono Otaiko Musubi - Drum Knot. Style of tying the obi Obijime - Decorative cord tied over top of the obi Sensu - Japanese folding fan |

lonely and fading
heart broken waiting

we are stuck in this world
that's not meant for me...

As for the red soft obi underneath the more decorative obi, I believe the length is the same as a standard obi, only twice as wide to give it a more scrunchy look, and to cover more area than the usual obi.
