長襦袢と着物の間に着ます。
夏物なので薄い涼し気な布にしてみました。
This is Akira’s Kasane.
Put it on between Nagajuban and Kimono.
Since it is for summer, I chose very thin and fine fabric.
周辺の紫はチャコペンがにじんでいる色です。
これはすぐに消えるものです。
A semamori, a lucky pattern embroidery is a star.
Purple color around it is an ink spread
of a fabric marking pencil, which will disappear in a day.
袖と半襟はシルクです。
竹を青い墨絵で描いた模様です。
I sewed Akira’s nagajuban (a full-length undergarment worn under a kimono).
Sleeves and haneri (a decorative collar on an under-kimono) are
made out of silk fabric.
Its pattern looks like some bamboo painted with a blue ink.
念のため入れてみました。
結び文です。
I was not sure a nagajuban needs semamori (lucky pattern embroideries
on the back of kid’s kimono, which protects a child from bad luck)
but I put it anyway, just in case.
It is a knotted-letter.
鯉口シャツを参考にしました。
I made Akira’s underclothes.
The shirt was made in reference to the Koiguchi-shirt.
足を3cmほど長くつけ直して肌着を着てもらいました。
次は長襦袢です。
Akira, the ichimatsu boy looked somewhat unnatural in
a total balance, so I made his legs 3cm longer
then put new underclothes on him.
I am going to make Nagajuban, special underwear for kimono, next.
「良い絣じゃの」
フンボルトさんは洋服も仕立てられますが、和服の仕立てもできるのです。
“This is a good fabric with splashed patterns”.
Mr. Humboldt can tailor western clothes but he also can
tailor Japanese traditional clothes like kimono and yukata.
「もう夏じゃから、ひとつケン氏に浴衣を仕立てるかのう」
“Let me tailor a yukata for Ken since summer is just around the corner.”
奥は、花魁の下駄です。鼻緒は羽二重です。手前左は「舟形」と呼ばれる形の台の下駄です。
From the left: Funagata: base board shaped like a boat;
top middle: oiran’s sanmai-ba geta. Hanao (cloth thongs are made out
of habutae silk); and on the right koppori: special
type of geta worn by maiko (geisha apprentice).
こっぽり下駄をmomokoさんに履かせてみました。
Momoko wears koppori: Koppori are distinctive tall geta
which have a small bell inside of its thick sole.
ドール用の下駄です。花魁道中などで履かれる三枚歯の高下駄です。
These are a special type of geta (Japanese footwear) for dolls.
They are called sanmaiba-geta, which are worn by
oiran, have three tall ha (supporting pieces) that supports the base board.
