someone who is unable to apply what they have read(Ohashori)
When wearing such a kimono, it is folded over at the waist to adjust the length, which is called “Ohataori. The folded part is also called “ohataori. The obi is fastened over the ohata-fold, and it is considered to be in good shape when it protrudes 6 to 7 cm (about the length of your finger) from the bottom of the obi. The length of the kimono can be adjusted when the height of the wearer grows or the hem of the kimono becomes damaged. Until the early Edo period, kimonos were tailored at the length of the kimono, but gradually the length of the kimono became longer, and when going out, kimonos were worn with the hem of the kimono lifted up by an obi sash, called “hem karaage. It was not until the middle of the Meiji period (1868-1912) that people began to wear kimonos with the omakage as we do today.
