Video Not Working? Fix It Now

Part 1 is about the undergarments. Part 2 starts at 5:34 and is about the kimono (Byaku-e). Part 3 starts at 10:25 and is about the hakama (Hi-bakama). I hope this video helps people who are interested in learning how to put on a Miko’s garments. This is meant to help cosplayers and people interested in learning more about Miko clothing. I am not a Miko (shrine maiden) and this is not meant to be religious (Shinto). I did research (in Japanese) on how real Miko wear their garments and did my best to represent it accurately given my knowledge of secular kitsuke (kimono-dressing). I have several years of experience with kimono and learned kitsuke from a Japanese Dance Instructor, but am not an expert by any means. I do not have a license or anything like that, for instance. I would consider myself an enthusiast. Lastly, I apologize for the less than stellar sound quality in this video. It was mostly recorded with my cellphone and there's some background noise I couldn't get rid of. (^^;
