Did Japanese costumes originate in the Tang Dynasty?

During the Sui Dynasty, Japanese emperors made clothes according to the costumes of the Sui Dynasty at that time. In the Tang Dynasty, kimonos became popular.

In the 8th century A.D., China's Tang Dynasty costumes were introduced to Japan, which had an impact on kimonos originating in Japan.

At that time, there were many names of kimonos, such as "headdress", "flag" and later "kimono", all of which were influenced by East Asian costumes. Kimono was occasionally called Wufu before the end of19th century. The word "fixed use of kimono" is a concept produced in contact with western culture after Meiji Restoration in Japan. The name Wufu originated from the commercial activities between Soochow and Japan during the Three Kingdoms period in China, which introduced the sewing methods of textiles and clothing to Japan. On a more precise level, the word "Wufu" refers to the high-grade kimono made of silk, while the kimono made of linen cotton cloth will be called "Wu Tai". Wudi in China is famous for its costumes. In the past, the two concepts of Wu fu and kimono were different (because most of the kimono styles worn by nobles originated from the Tang Dynasty rather than Soochow, and this kind of clothing was also called "Tang fu" in the past), but today these two concepts have almost overlapped. Many shops selling kimonos will write "Gofukuya" on their signboards, which shows that these two words are basically synonymous.
