How was Japanese women's kimono born?

The history of kimono (わふく) is about 1000 years. What is really recorded in writing is that the introduction of China costumes into Japan began in the Nara era. Nara era coincided with the prosperous Tang Dynasty in China, and the Japanese sent a large number of scholars and monks to study in China. These envoys brought the culture, art and laws of the Tang Dynasty back to Japan. "Yi Ling" is one of the systems formulated in the Nara era by imitating the Tang Dynasty. The "Dress Order" stipulates dresses, court clothes and uniforms. The color of clothing in Nara era is relatively simple. During the Heian period, due to the influence of the national wind at that time, the colors of clothes began to diversify and the sleeves also developed in a wide direction.

At that time, ancient women would wear a kind of clothing called "Twelve Singles" when they entered the palace or celebrated festivals, which were divided into Tang suits, single clothes and watches.
