Japanese Traditional Undergarments | Innerwear and Juban for Comfortable Kimono Wear

To wear kimono comfortably, it is important to consider not only the kimono and obi, but also the undergarments, innerwear, and juban worn underneath.

Kyoto Kimono Kobo offers a variety of traditional Japanese undergarments, including kimono slips, one-piece and two-piece juban, han-juban, and nagajuban.

In addition to cotton fabrics, we also offer products made with modern functional materials, such as moisture-wicking and quick-drying fabrics and temperature-regulating materials.

How to Choose Japanese Traditional Undergarments

There are various types of kimono undergarments, including kimono slips, han-juban, and nagajuban.

The best choice depends on the season, purpose, length of wear, and the level of comfort you are looking for.

For those who are new to wearing kimono, a kimono slip or one-piece style, which combines the upper undergarment and lower wrap into one piece, can be an easy and convenient choice.

Han-juban and nagajuban can be selected according to the type of kimono, dressing style, season, and other needs.

Choosing Kimono Undergarments by Material

When choosing Japanese traditional undergarments, it is important to consider not only the style but also the material.

Cotton Recommended for those who value the feel of the fabric against the skin or are looking for traditional undergarments for everyday kimono wear.

Moisture-Wicking and Quick-Drying Materials For warm weather or extended periods of wear, undergarments and juban made with moisture-wicking and quick-drying materials can be a comfortable choice.

Temperature-Regulating Materials For those looking to enjoy kimono more comfortably in changing temperatures, we also offer products made with materials designed to help regulate temperature.

Choose According to the Season and Purpose

For kimono worn in summer, moisture-wicking and quick-drying materials can help manage perspiration.

For colder seasons, materials designed with warmth and temperature regulation in mind can provide greater comfort.

It is also important to choose your undergarments according to where and how you will wear them, whether for everyday kimono wear, lessons, tea ceremony, kyudo (Japanese archery), iaido (Japanese swordsmanship), or other activities.

At Kyoto Kimono Kobo, we offer undergarments and juban suitable not only for kimono, but also for those who wear traditional Japanese clothing or training garments for activities such as tea ceremony, kyudo, and iaido.

Kyoto Kimono Kobo's Approach to Comfortable Kimono Wear

Kimono has been worn in Japan for centuries, but today's climate and lifestyle are different from those of the past.

For this reason, we believe there is value in incorporating modern functional materials into traditional Japanese clothing, alongside the materials that have traditionally been used.

Rather than thinking that wearing kimono means having to endure discomfort, we believe that choosing the right materials and styles can make kimono more comfortable to wear and enjoy.

With this philosophy in mind, Kyoto Kimono Kobo offers a variety of Japanese traditional undergarments, innerwear, and juban made with different materials and designs.

Whether you are new to wearing kimono, regularly enjoy kimono, or wear traditional clothing for activities such as tea ceremony, kyudo, or iaido, we invite you to choose the product that best suits your purpose and the season.
