Hadajuban - KIMONO ENCYCLOPAEDIA

Preserved in the archive in 2003. Historical article; travel and business details may have changed.

Hadajuban - Undergarment for kimono ‘Hadajuban’ is the first undergarment worn in the kimono attire. It is so named as it is worn next to the skin. Note 1: As the kimono is cut in a straight pattern / shape, padding is often needed around the waist and/or bust. A padding similar to the one shown in the picture can be worn to fill / level off body curves. Please note that padding is worn underneath the ‘hadajuban’. Note 2: Over the ‘hadajuban’, a second undergarment called the ‘nagajuban’ is worn to add collar definition to the kimono. Please note that the ‘nagajuban’ is not worn with a casual kimono such as the yukata. Next kimono is the Houmongi. 2003 YUKATA COMPETITION With more Japanese girls entering the traditional Japanese fashion competition this year the competition was always going to be hot!
