Placed around the neck to intersect at the chest. For placement, the lapel is made to overlap with the half-collar and is made of thicker material. If you gradually allow it to slip to show both the half-collar and lapel, it becomes beautiful and stylish!

A substitute collar sewn onto the kimono worn underneath. The part where it intersects the neck is known as a 'kobun'. In relation to a hakama, it is better to be hung modestly, rather than at a 45 degree angle. Has a calming feeling to it.

Otherwise known as a Date Collar. A second collar that can be threaded over the line of a kimono to give it a layered look. Very customisable! For those people with large breasts, it seems that it is better to make the left side longer so that it won't cause any problems later on!

The lower part of the obi is folded back to adjust the length. The hakama will make it invisible from the front, but it will be visible from the side, so be careful when drawing! I didn't draw it this time though.

The part that covers both arms. The sleeves of a hakama vary depending on your preference, but for graduation ceremonies, a length of two shaku (sleeve length 76cm) is often worn. By the way, the length of furisode is around 100-110cm. It's still difficult to draw!

You can use either zouri or boots as you like. This time I used boots. If your girl wears boots, make them wear socks, and if they wear zouri, make them wear tabi. When you look at the words alone, Western boots and Japanese kimono don't seem to match, but when you try them on, they match perfectly! A mystery!

I went with a simple flower for ornamentation this time. Rinze usually wears hair decorations on the right hand side, but I decided to switch it up. Gives a slightly fresh feeling to her.

A cut made between the armpit and the bodice. Used to slip your hands into in order to fix loose items (I was taught this by an expert on the matter. Extremely grateful!!). That said, you can't see it this time around...

Also called a Han Shita-obi, it is a cute obi that is slightly visible from under the hakama. Although it's only a little visible, it's surprisingly noticeable, so use it as an accent that symbolizes your individuality. Component number one - I had no idea how it worked until I did some research (lol).

The star of the show this time is the hakama! The mental image is of a skirt worn over a kimono. A type of hakama without a specific function is called an Andon bakama. As someone like me who is not good at drawing skirts, it was very difficult to draw! If there are folds, it becomes difficult to understand the shape!

A kimono is normally worn under the hakama. This part is not completely visible in the illustration of a kimono with a short hem or the length adjusted to prevent it from coming out of the hakama. But if you understand how it works, it might be easier to visualize it when drawing.
