▼ Juni Hitoe Experience
- Category:Experience
The juni hitoe (12-layered kimono) was introduced in Japan during the Heian Period (794-1185) as a garment worn by ladies-in-waiting.
Particularly complicated to put on, but also luxurious and elegant, it can be seen in illustrations of Murasaki Shikibu’s 11-century novel “The Tale of Genji” as well as worn by characters in the 2013 Studio Ghibli animation “The Tale of the Princess Kaguya.”
Emondo Miyabi Yuki, a nonprofit organization that specializes in preserving the culture of kimono, offers visitors to Kyoto the opportunity to try on a juni hitoe. Based at the organization’s shop, the service includes dressing experts who will transform you into a Heian Period aristocrat. For men, there will also be a number of traditional Japanese noblemen’s outfits. (Yuki Yamauchi)
