The origin of Japanese kimono

The origin of Japanese kimono: Japanese kimono originated from the clothing of Tang Dynasty in China. Kimono (also known as "Satoshi") is a traditional national costume in Japan. It is named because more than 90% of the Japanese population belongs to the "Yamato" ethnic group. Today, kimono not only has the original functions of keeping warm and protecting the body, but also has high artistic value. Especially women's kimonos, with beautiful styles and bright colors, are equipped with beautiful broadband at the waist, which fully shows the femininity of women.

According to Wei Zhi's Biography of the Japanese, "Use a piece of cloth, put a hole in the middle, and put your head in, so you don't have to cut it." This is the prototype of kimono. In the Daiwa era, the Japanese king sent envoys to China three times, bringing back a large number of Han weavers, Wu weavers and craftsmen who were good at textile and sewing techniques. Most of the immigrants from China who went to Fusang were literati and craftsmen, who introduced China's clothing style to Japan.

In Nara era (AD 7 18), the Japanese sent a delegation of envoys from the Tang Dynasty to China, which was received by the King of the Tang Dynasty and given a large number of royal robes. These clothes are dazzling and very popular in Japan. At that time, all Japanese civil and military officials were envious. The next year, the emperor ordered all Japanese to wear clothes that imitated the Sui and Tang Dynasties. ?

As for wallets, Japanese women were influenced by Christian missionaries wearing robes and belts. At first, the wallet was in the front, and later it was moved to the back. 1868, before the Meiji Restoration, the Japanese all wore kimonos, but after the Meiji Restoration, men in the upper class began to wear suits, also known as "foreign clothes".

During the Great Kanto Earthquake in Japan 1923, women were still wearing kimonos, so they suffered misfortune or physical injury due to mobility difficulties. Since then, Japanese women have gradually changed to dresses or other clothes. However, kimono is still the Japanese favorite. People wearing traditional kimonos can be seen everywhere in festivals, graduation ceremonies, weddings, funerals and other important occasions to celebrate children's "July 3rd".
