Japanese kimonos
The kimono is a traditional Japanese garment adapted to Japan's climate and way of life. Fabrics such as linen, cotton, silk, or wool are used depending on the occasion and season. Patterns and colors each have their own meaning. As early as the Heian period, nobles used their sumptuous garments to demonstrate the connection between everyday life and beauty.
The fundamental culture of Japan can be felt through this world of clothing.Tradition in everyday life
Today, kimonos are worn less frequently in everyday life, but remain important for special occasions such as Shichi-Go-San, weddings, or summer festivals. Wearing one promotes grace and good posture. Young people also enjoy combining traditional styles with their own modern touch. Thus, putting on a kimono becomes a special experience.
