I will tell you how to determine your kimono measurements especially Mitake(body length).
There are two types of Mitake(body length): kata-Mitake and se-Mitake.
Kata-Mitake : “kata” means shoulder.
Se-Mitake : “se” means back seam.
“Mitake” means body length.
The Mitake shown here is the se-Mitake.
The difference between the two types of height can be seen in the reference material.

Basic Mitake
Body height = se-Mitake (Body length)
To change the Mitake length
When the body is thick
se-Mitake (Body length)= Body height +α
When wearing a kimono, the koshihimo(waistband) is positioned low.
se-Mitake (Body length)= Body height -α
About changing the measurements
In the following cases, it is recommended that you use the basic measurements for tailoring.
- If you are taking orders for the first time.
- When there is no request for the body length.
- If you have a standard body shape.
