4/6 Arinami, 2026 On-Season Start! #CommutingInASarong Day 1 of 2026, Part 2
Hello, this is Yuki from Arinami.
It was so hot today that even short sleeves felt like too much.
Although it's earlier than usual, I have officially kicked off this year's sarong/Tofu-maki (tube cloth wrapping) season.
The 2026 season has begun.
I had actually been continuing to take photos of my commuting outfits, which I had been posting a little bit, but I didn't get around to posting them, and before I knew it, spring had arrived while I was playing around with AI.
I haven't been able to do much preparation during the off-season, but I will proceed at my own pace without pushing myself.

I have created an Instagram account for videos.
The videos I post will also be reposted here on the official Arinami account @arinami250416.

For "Arinami," I am applying the kanji characters "Tofu-maki" (tube cloth wrapping) based on the structure and characteristics of the sarong (a Sri Lankan waist cloth) to promote it in Japan.
Although it is the off-season for wearing it as outdoor clothing,
because it is a tubular "large hand towel," those with short hair can use it to wipe off moisture like a towel, wrap it around themselves, and just relax,
and,
because it lacks the "crotch seam" that pants always have, the sense of freedom from not having fabric pulling at the thighs or crotch provides even greater relaxation,
so I am proposing it as wear for your "totonou" (post-sauna relaxation) time after taking a sauna.

🎥 I have also released several patterns of tutorial videos on how to wrap it, complete with subtitles. 🎥

Regarding the sarongs I show in 'Commuting in a Sarong,' I have fabric stock available for purchase, except for those I brought back from Sri Lanka and the ones I originally made myself.
MUJI remake: from 4,000 yen (tax included)
Other than MUJI remake: from 2,500 yen (tax included)
Since connecting multiple fabrics, such as in the stripe series, increases the number of sewing points, if you would like a patchwork design, I can create it in your desired combination by adding '(number of pieces used - 1) x 500 yen' to the regular sarong price.
Because they are handmade, there is no mass-production efficiency, and they are not cheap, but I am aiming for and exploring fair pricing.
If you want a sarong, would like to try wearing one, or want to try making one, please feel free to DM me.
A sarong is 'a waist-down yukata that can be worn without an obi sash and will not come undone.'
Please, give it a try.
I would also like to create an enthusiast community exclusively for those who have purchased one.
Well then, have a great day today too!
