Anybody ever used a Mannequin or a bodice to practice tying the obi?

I honestly want to get better tying musubi on so many different types of obi. However my back is getting wrose and I have a hard time standing for a long period of time with no breaks. I'm thinking about getting a Mannequin or a bodice for practice and I'm just wondering, has anybody ever done this and what is your experience? 😊

I'm looking for an authentic Japanese Fūrin windchime for my living room however I'm looking for a real one, not something from Temu or other cheap websites. Does anybody recommend a Japanese website that carries home goods and ships to the United States?

Thank you! 😊

(Sorry for only 1 picture, for some weird reason, I can only post 1 picture on my phone. 🤦‍♀️)

I was looking in gofukuyasan.com's website and I absolutely love their products! 😍 But they are kinda out of my price range. 😭

Anyways, I searched "yukata" on their website and a came acrossed a few of their kimono which their material is called "Theoα (Alpha)" which I looked it up and found that they are actually polyester. And for what I read on this listing, that it can be worn as a yukara.

Now, my question is, can every polyester yukata can be worn as a komon kimono? 🤔

And I also want to ask if there is there a difference be between hitoe (unlined) polyester kimono and a polyester yukata?

I have a couple of polyester yukata from Mondren Sakura and I'm thinking about trying to wear tham on komon kimono. 😁
