#Undergarment

[tanuki-kimono]

Hello!! I am a fellow kimono enthusiast and while I know a considerable amount about kimono, I had a question. I did a lot of searching, but I couldn't find an answer so I was hoping kimonoblr could help me out.

I have 2 lovely awase kimonos but it's unbearably hot where I am, so I was wondering if the nagajuban could be omitted entirely if a date-eri/kasane-eri is sewed on? Thanks in advance!

:D One-of-us-one-of-us :D (hi!)

Nothing forbids you to ditch juban!

In fact there is a term for that: 素袷 suawase (=wearing a lined kimono without an undergarment​).

To mimic the juban without actually wearing one, you would not use a dateeri but a another kimono item especially made to "fake" juban collar called an usotsuki-eri:

Tbh, I often use this trick, especially for indoors events where I know it will be (too) warm! I keep the hadajuban (or something similar like a slip), add a fake collar, and I am good to go.

Will that get a pass for formal events? no. Is it comfortable and allowing you to wear kimono in Western-heated-rooms? yes!

Now the thing is, if it's really really hot where you live, I would not advise wearing awase too often without proper foundation under it. Undergarments like juban are also there to protect kimono from sweat, so not wearing a juban could in the end damaged your kimono - especially if they are silk!

Koromogae (the change of clothes -lined/unlined- to better match the seasons) historically took place around April 1st in Japan. But it was not set in stone, and widely depended on where people lived!

If you can, dress accordingly for your climate :) I'd favor unlined hitoe (maybe you could alter your awase?), or even nice yukata dress-up as kimono.

This way you could still wear your kimono but with proper undergarments to protect them ;)

Hope it helps!

like every girl kui draws is pretty! every man she makes is good looking! I am in hell! A+ character design to be honest, somehow im attracted to like every character she draws even outside dungeon meshi

I LOVE how Ryoko Kui draws, her understanding of human and animals is very inspiring! Everything looks like they have so much love put into it, and it also feels like an "objective" view of what things look like if that makes sense?

Its stylized but it feels like a stylization grounded in reality rather than a stylization based on other stylizations. There's a subtlety to her designs that make them all look so unique, you can really see it in the race portraits.

I really admire how few lines she needs to make people look slightly or WILDLY different, and all so beautifully done you cant help but fall in love with them. One I keep looking at is "the physiques of the ninjas"

I love that she decided to represent varying body types too! that's not usually something people think about especially in anime-style designs, they usually make the differences be clothing and face-shape but there's so much more you can use to make a character special and unique I think it's really inspiring.

Dia and Namari are other characters I've beem noticing more nowadays too. How at first you might think they have the same body-type since they're both dwarf women.

But Dia is shorter and slightly more chubby than Namari, who is more muscular, not to mention the different face shape and how Dia is more feminine than Namari and tha'ts expressed both in their designs and mannerisms <3

I could gush about Kui's beautiful character design all day
