As you probably know, Wacom<\/a> (\u682a\u5f0f\u4f1a\u793e\u30ef\u30b3\u30e0<\/span>, Kabushiki-gaisha Wacom<\/i>) is a global company, established in 1983 in Saitama, Japan. As a Japanese company, we thought it would be fun to show off this little visual reference by Manga artist Chihiro Howe<\/a> that helps you easily see how various traditional pieces of Japanese clothing should be drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chihiro told us she kept seeing artists trying to draw Kimono or Yukata and getting it wrong, so she created an easy-to-follow tutorial on how to draw various types of Japanese clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
