Modeling characteristics of Japanese traditional samurai

Speaking of the origin of Japanese kimono, it can be traced back to the third century BC. In the Daiwa era, Japan was called Japan by the Central Plains people. Japanese emperors often sent envoys to the Central Plains Dynasty to offer sacrifices and pay tribute in exchange for cultural materials, and also brought the traditional costumes of the Central Plains to the main island of Japan. Therefore, the ancestor prototype of kimono is actually the Hanfu of our Central Plains.

At first, Japanese clothing was made of animal fur and Sang Ma plant fiber. Japanese kimono has the functions of beauty, fashion and cold protection. With the improvement of Japanese citizens' cultural status, the development of handicraft workshops and the active life of citizens, the kimono has been widely popularized and popular. From Japanese kimonos, we can see the compatibility between Chinese and western cultures, as well as the mourning culture with the classical, "Zen" and restrained and rigorous national character of the local people.

The costume culture in Han culture has the greatest influence on Edo kimono. In the Nara era, the Japanese kimono was an imitation of the clothing of the Tang Dynasty. In the edo period, that is, A.D. 1603-1868. At this time, Japan's feudal samurai system has entered a period of decline, and the capitalist commodity economy has begun to sprout.

At this time, the name of Japanese kimono was officially changed from Wufu to Kimono. For example, the kimono culture is recorded in Historical Records and Records of Japan, and Japan has revised and improved the costume characteristics of the Song and Ming Dynasties in the Central Plains, forming a unique style of Japanese kimono. In the Tokugawa era for more than 200 years, the culture and politics of the upper class of Japanese society influenced the development of Japanese kimono.

After Japan absorbed the characteristics of Hanfu in the Sui and Tang Dynasties in the Central Plains and the artistic culture of costumes, make-up and classical learning in overseas western countries, the Japanese people combined these excellent and exquisite Central Plains costume cultures with local traditional costume cultures, with the continuous improvement of the status of Japanese ordinary classes.

/kloc-in the 0/8th century, the development of European capitalism went deep into the interior of Japan, and new literature and art and clothing design patterns emerged one after another. The improvement of kimono was closely combined with classical literature and art, and at the same time, it reconciled the traditional thoughts of God, Buddhism, Zen and Taoism and metaphysics Confucianism in the Central Plains, living in Japan's "gentle culture" and formed a unique kimono culture.

2. Classical culture, medicine and food culture

Under the power policy of Edo Tokugawa era, the oppression in real life, the sense of honor of samurai and famous families, and the noble people's pursuit of solemn, sacred and rigorous spiritual concepts made people love clothing culture more and more. In addition, with the development of industry and commerce, the growing civilian culture makes the kimono art penetrate into the mass class, which is widely loved by people and becomes an important art form in the clothing industry. In the case of weak scientific and cultural level in ancient times, the ancients made clothes by observing the natural environment and collecting natural raw materials.

During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, plum blossoms, cherry blossoms and other flowers and plants were painted on gold foil paper and then printed on clothes, depicting various patterns and shapes, such as insects, fish, flowers and the moon. These images come from natural resources. At the same time, cosmetic products matching Japanese traditional kimono also come from outside, and are made of natural animals and plants, medicinal materials and rocks. Traditional kimono is transformed from Hanfu in Central Plains and Tang Dynasty, and is rendered with natural dyes such as celestite and madder.

On grand occasions and festival ceremonies, you will wear exquisite kimonos, and there will be different styles of kimonos in different customs and habits, such as sleeveless kimonos, Haikao tea curtains, wedding dresses, mourning clothes and so on. Lead powder and pearl powder are used as white cosmetic powder; Food crops in agricultural life, various oriental tropical spices such as cloves, borneol, sandalwood, borneol and other powders are all things that nature itself has to use, and the accessories on kimonos are grass and calamus;

Madder and purple rivet dyeing patterns, etc. However, the warm and humid maritime climate and environment of the island country of Japan make the kimono design loose and breathable. In order to better adapt to the local customs and climate in Japan, the general kimono robe has eight air holes, and the front, sleeves and welts can be opened and closed freely.

The traditional Japanese character is usually reserved and introverted. Whether it is the samurai class or the civilian class in Japan, the principle of spiritual supremacy remains unchanged. Japan's national psychology has always been very complicated. On the one hand, influenced by Chinese culture in the Central Plains, the modesty of oriental human nature is restrained in people's blood.

In feudal society, most Japanese people focus on the group and the overall situation, plus the belief in witchcraft in the local culture, the militant national spirit, the typical dual concept of chrysanthemum knife belief, and the strong national character psychology of sensitivity, shame and anxiety.

From the knot on the kimono, we can see that whether it is the "improvement belt" or the "cultural belt" or the clogs that must be matched with the kimono, these clothing elements well show the Japanese people's pursuit of dignity, stability and tranquility and the spiritual concept of "harmony is precious".

It can be seen that kimono is an intuitive representation of Japanese traditional ideological beliefs and spiritual world. The Japanese "kimono complex" has a consistent love, which has become the ideological sustenance and representative in people's minds and occupies a high position in Japanese culture.

Japan's cultural system has a strong collective consciousness, and Japanese rulers pursue Bushido culture. Especially at the beginning of17th century, Tokugawa Ieyasu regime strictly controlled Japanese class social rule. In the Tokugawa era, under the high-pressure political system and the mufan system with warriors and generals as the main body, the ruling class vigorously promoted the spirit of Bushido-loyalty, righteousness and courage.

Therefore, the traditional kimono is also a symbol of loyal and unyielding samurai spirit. At the same time, the interpretation of Buddhism and Taoism, legends of ghosts and gods, spirituality of flowers and plants, and poetry and folk songs in Japan are all integrated into Japanese kimono culture. At the same time, under the influence of long-term sad and mysterious classical philosophy, Japan, an island country, has a strong and brave blade on the one hand; On the one hand, it is the tenderness of cherry blossoms;

The cruel violence in Bushido is integrated with the aesthetic and metaphysical characteristics of Jing 'an and He in Zen Buddhism. Whether it is depressing gloom, tenacious blood, or being polite, modest and demure, these are all reflected in the art of kimono, which makes kimono entrust the duality of rigidity and softness and people's hope for life and other spiritual values.

The kimono art is deeply loved by Japanese citizens and shows different customs and habits. With the continuous development of Japan's economy, the capitalist commodity trade flourished after the Edo era, the national industry and commerce developed rapidly, agriculture and cottage industries made continuous progress, and merchants, craftsmen and tailors appeared. Whether it is the emotional sustenance of national spirit or the pursuit of charm, Jing Ya and beauty, there is a "kimono fever" in Japanese aristocratic culture.

The pursuit of classical beauty and exquisiteness is no longer the patent of nobles. The humanity and elegant art explored by the upper class flowed into the people and began to blend with the civilian class, and the gentle wind culture became the spiritual culture pursued by the public.
