[How to wear a two-part type kimono]

1. First, wear the Azumaeri (collar part cloth) around your neck.
2. Pull the left and right strings on the back of the Azumaeri to the front and tie them around your belly.
3. Wrap the strings on the left collar piece and the right collar piece around your body and also tie them around your belly.
4. Wear the skirt piece of the two-part type kimono around your waist so that the right front piece goes under the left front piece.
5. Then wrap the strings on the skirt piece around your waist and tie a bow knot near the left or right hip.
6. Now wear the upper piece so that the right front piece also goes under the left front piece.
7. Tie the string on the right front piece to the inner string of the left front piece. Wrap the left front piece over the right front piece and tie a bow knot near the right hip with the two strings.
8. Now you are ready.
