Let's Try on a Traditional Japanese Yukata! This video "Yukata and Obi (帯) belt fitting tutorial by hataori（自分でできる浴衣の着付けと帯結び by hataori）" was created by Official Hataori and shows you in detailed steps how to put on a yukata and obi belt. Yukata are traditional garments that have been worn and loved by Japanese people for centuries. There are several occasions when one can wear a yukata, such as during summer festivals when women dress in gorgeous, colorful yukata or at hot springs or public baths where men tend to wear more plain and simply decorated yukata. However, as they aren't worn very often, there aren't many people who know the correct way to put on a yukata by themselves. This video will teach you in detail how to correctly put on a yukata. Hopefully this video comes in handy the next time you have the opportunity to wear a yukata! The History of Japan's Yukata Photo：Women wearing yukata It is thought that over 1200 years ago, during the Heian Period (794-1185AD), yukata were worn as bathrobes called Yukatabira (湯帷子). Aristocrats at the time would have worn them as they bathed. During the Muromachi Period (1336-1573AD) and Edo Period (1603-1868 AD) lightweight, cotton versions of these bathrobes were worn not during, but after bathing. During the latter half of the Edo Period, it became common for people to wear yukata as more casual clothing such as when taking short trips. Tips on How to Wear a Yukata Source :YouTube screenshot From 0:22 in the video you can see how to put on a yukata. There are many small items that are essential for women when putting on a yukata, such as a Datejime (伊達締), Obiita (帯板), Obi, Obihimo (帯紐), Geta (下駄) or Zori (草履). It helps to have clips or belts to help hold things in place when putting on your yukata and also helps prevent the yukata from falling out of place. One very important item when putting on your yukata is a Koshihimo (腰紐), a cord tied around the waist that helps adjust the length of your yukata. The most elegant way to wear a yukata is to adjust the length so that the yukata is just covering the ankles. Please refer to 0:55 in the video to see how to tie a Koshihimo. When wearing a kimono, an extra layer of clothing called a Hadajuban (肌襦袢) is worn underneath the kimono. However, this is unnecessary when wearing a yukata. Source :YouTube screenshot From 3:00 in the video, you can see how to put on a Munehimo (cord wrapped around the chest area). Once the yukata is in place, it's time to wrap the Obi belt. You can see this from 5:59 in the video. For more detailed information on how to tie an obi belt, please refer to the instructions in the video. We recommended wearing your hair in a refreshing up-do when wearing a yukata. A handheld Japanese fan, such as a Sensu (扇子) or Uchiwa (団扇), also looks great with a yukata. How to Tie an Obi Belt Photo：Kimono belt There are a variety of ways to tie an obi belt. For women who are wearing a colorful yukata in the summer to a special event such as a fireworks display, we recommended tying the obi in a ribbon shape using the Bunko musubi (文庫結び) or Chou musubi (蝶結び). Once you are used to tying an obi belt, you can attempt the more difficult Hana musubi (花結び). The Kakuobi musubi (角帯結び) style of obi is typically worn by men. Yukata Fitting Summary Photo：Women wearing yukata In summer, you will find many stores selling yukata sets and there are also places where you can rent a yukata for the day. If you choose to rent a yukata, there may be someone who can help you get dressed into it, so please take advantage of this opportunity. Taking a walk outside wearing a yukata, especially one you managed to put on yourself, is sure to be a great feeling! Please make sure to use this video the next time you decide to wear a yukata! Just watching the video we're sure you'll learn something new!

Japan's Road Technicians This video called "Road marking 4K Version 2018" (2018 道路のライン引き 路面標示施工 4K版). It features road marking technicians making marks on a runway at Aomori Airport. Watch the amazing skill of these road marking technicians in the video! You'll be amazed by their efficiency. Road Work in Japan Wouldn't Be the Same Without 'Em! Photo："Stop" road marking There are various type of road markings in Japan to maintain safe traffic. These road markings are necessary to do road work, are used for parking, at construction sites, and also for public works projects. Almost all road markings in Japan are conducted by an operator with a nationally certified license for road marking. In this video, a road marking technician makes markings on a road using a line marker in quick, precise fashion. Not Missing the Mark Source :YouTube screenshot Before making marks, operators clean the surface of the road and make an outline of the finished markings. From there, the operator measures the outer frame of the markings precisely and creates the shape of each character using specialized marking tape made to stick to asphalt. Next, they operate a machine called a line marker car (road marking and construction machine) to apply the letters to the road. You can't help but admire their craftsmanship in writing letters in the blink of an eye. To call it a work of art wouldn't be an exaggeration. The highlight of this video is the scene where the operator makes complicated character markings such as "降車専用" (Drop-off only) (10:27). The operator draws beautiful lines over the outline marked with tape. What Kind of People Are Road Marking Technicians! Photo：Road line drawing machine If you check out some Japanese job sites, you'll find some road marking jobs. However, unless you're a certified technician you aren't qualified to do this job. Japan's road marks have detailed standards for thickness and size, as well as for the amount of resin in the paint types for road markings. If you acquire the necessary knowledge and obtain a nationally certified license, you too can do road marking in Japan! Summary of Japan's Road Marking Technicians Source :YouTube screenshot The road marking technicians who line Japan's roads are an important part of keeping Japan's roads safe.

A New, Super Heat Resistant Alloy That Has Improved Fuel Efficiency in Airplanes! This video "World-Record Super Heat-Resistant Alloy That Has Improved the Fuel Efficiency of Aircrafts!" (ジェット機の燃費向上を実現した世界記録の超耐熱合金), created by "nimspr," introduces the amazing processing technology of a Japanese research institution. Burning at higher temperatures reduces fuel consumption. To combat this, aircrafts, jets, and automobile makers are required to develop special material. NIMS, introduced in the video, has developed a super heat resistant alloy that can resist extremely high temperatures and currently holds the world record for super heat-resistant alloys. How Is the Superalloy Used? Photo：Airplane NIMS’ superalloy is used in the latest Boeing 787, shown at 0:21 in the video. As you can see from 0:45 in the video, ordinary metals are poly-crystalline when made in a mold, but the superalloy shown in the video is mono-crystalline with no grains, making it resistant to heat. This super heat-resistant alloy is used in turbine blades- the hottest part on all aircraft parts. By using the superalloy, it's possible to save 100 million yen per year, per aircraft. The heat resistant titanium alloy by NIMS is also highly resistant to rust. On top of that, it is incredibly light, making it a highly valued material. A Look at the New Superalloy Source :YouTube screenshot In addition to titanium, which is shown in the video, there are other kinds of materials, such as iron, cobalt, nickel, aluminum, tantalum, chromium, molybdenum and tungsten. Research institutions across japan have spent a long time researching how to combine these materials to create the perfect metal. The experimental data collected by NIMS over several decades was used to create superalloys. Summary of the New Superalloy Source :YouTube screenshot NIMS Materials Strength Standard and Technology Group conducts research on high fatigue tests which check creep properties and fatigue characteristics for superalloys. They also focus on the recycling of materials, the design of end mills for cutting superalloys, as well as promoting low-cost, high-performance development through the establishment of material design methods.

Time stamps are also included by the names, so be sure to check them out as you read on. 【#1】Yose-bashi (0:03) This is the act of moving a dish toward you with your chopsticks. To avoid this, place your chopsticks on the chopstick rest and move the dish with both hands. 【#2】Kasane-bashi (0:10) This refers to eating the same dish continuously. The polite thing to do is try a variety of dishes. 【#3】Neburi-bashi (0:17) This is refers to licking or nipping the end of your chopsticks.

This is something you do at the deathbed of someone who has passed away or at a Buddhist altar. Use a chopstick rest here too. 【#12】Oshikomi-bashi (1:18) This is to push the food into your mouth with your chopsticks. It's best not to stuff your mouth as full as possible with food. 【#13】Mayoi-bashi (1:25) This is bring your chopsticks close to something to eat it and then changing your mind and choosing something else. Proper etiquette entails that, once your bring your chopsticks towards a dish, you eat it. 【#14】Saguri-bashi (1:31) This refers to using your chopsticks to rummage through your dish to find the food you like. Avoid doing this by eating what is at the top of your dish. 【#15】Hiroi-bashi (1:38) This refers to passing food between chopsticks. This is something done at funerals and should also be avoided.

Kyoto Station's Automatic Underground Bicycle Parking Area This video, titled "Automatic Underground Bicycle Parking Lot Opened in Front of Kyoto Station" (京都駅前に機械式地下駐輪場がオープン) was released by SankeiNews. The first automated underground bicycle parking lot in Kyoto made big news when it was opened on February 11th, 2015 at the East and West Hachijou Entrance to Kyoto station. This is a video showing footage of the automated storage and retrieval of a bicycle from inside the underground parking lot that was made available to the press upon opening. It's a sight that one would normally never be able to see and well worth the watch! More About Kyoto Station's Automatic Underground Bicycle Parking Lot Source :YouTube screenshot The underground parking lot has a 12 meter deep cylindrical design and the footage of the automated storage of the bikes underground is truly amazing! You can take a look at this from 0:06 in the video. One of these underground parking lots (called Eco-cycles) can store approximately 200 bicycles. The way it works is that you place your bike into an elevator-type booth, simply push a button and the bicycle will automatically be stored away in the underground parking lot. You can see this in the opening scenes of the video. When you would like to retrieve your bicycle, all you have to do is swipe your designated IC card and your bike should arrive through the elevator-style booth in approximately 13 seconds. This can be seen at 0:17 in the video. As you can see in the video, the front wheel of the bicycle is held by a machine, which allows the machine to move the bicycle to the correct location. It's truly amazing to watch the machine at work! Advantages and Disadvantages of Automated Underground Parking Lots Source :YouTube screenshot It can no doubt be said that the new underground bicycle parking lot in Kyoto is very convenient, but it's not without its disadvantages. Let's talk about the advantages and disadvantages of this system. First of all, one of the advantages of the underground parking lot is that, being indoors, there is less risk of one's bicycle being damaged by rain or possibly being stolen compared to if it were parked outdoors. Another advantage is that since the bicycles are neatly stored away, the iconic scenery of the streets of Kyoto can be easily maintained. However, one of the disadvantages of such a system is the development cost. The cost to build one of these parking lots is approximately 160,000,000 yen (roughly 1.5 million US dollars) with the overall construction cost coming to approximately 426,600,000 yen (roughly 4 million US dollars), far higher than a regular outdoor bicycle parking lot. It is hardly a sum than can be covered by usage charge alone. For this reason, it's unlikely that this kind of underground parking area will be adopted by many local governments without good reason for it. Furthermore, the lack of information on running performance, maintenance costs and the fact that the parking lot is not equipped to handle non-standard bicycles are all problems that still need to be dealt with. Kyoto Station Automated Underground Bicycle Parking Lot Usage Fee Photo：Bicycle parking area For those who wish to use the new underground parking lot, you'll need to enter a fixed-term contract, which currently costs 2700 yen per month (as of Jan 2020). It is also possible to pay for parking per day at a cost of 150 yen; however, the parking lot can often be full so it's best to search for alternative parking options beforehand. Those wishing to enter a fixed term contract need to ensure that their bicycle meets the required standards for the automatic parking lot. You must know your bicycle's length, width, height and position of the front and/or rear basket, tire size, bike weight, and position of gears and possibly several other measurements. Extra precautions must be taken for bikes which have unique or special designs, such as road bikes, mountain bikes, and more. Summary of Kyoto's Automated Underground Parking Lot What 'd you think of Kyoto's new underground bicycle parking lot? Kyoto station's south entrance has long been troubled with the unauthorized parking of bicycles. It is hoped that the completion of this new underground parking lot will bring and end to this problem and help contribute towards maintaining the beautiful scenery of Kyoto. Videos of bicycles being sucked up by the automated machinery of Kyoto's underground parking lot have attracted a lot of attention on social media, so much so that many tourists are visiting Kyoto for the sole purpose of seeing this unusual parking lot! The development of this automated parking lot in the futuristic city of Kyoto is sure to have a profound impact on the rest of the world. 【Official Website】Automatic Underground Bicycle Parking Lot introduction｜KYOTO PARKING NAVI https://kyotopublic.or.jp/bikepark/
