Why this phrase
Kōfuku is a ryokan guest who just put the yukata on with the collar reversed. Hana is with him in the room and fixes it warmly. She does not mock him, and she does not joke about the dead. 右前 means his right panel goes against the body first and the left panel sits on top. The check: his right hand slides into the overlap at the chest. If it will not, that is 左前, the wrap used when dressing someone who has died. Men and women use the same overlap. One phrase: 右前. Do not say the right panel ends up on top. The older yukata video only names the outfit.
