What's so particular about kimono in Japan?

Kimono is the traditional national costume of the Japanese, and it is also the cultural wealth that the Japanese are most worthy of boasting to the world. It has a history of 1000 years. Wide, comfortable, colorful and dignified kimono is not only a kind of clothing, but also a piece of clothing.

The development of Japanese painting and drama art is closely related to kimono, especially the beauty painting in the customized version of Ukiyo-e, which is closely related to kimono. Japanese pottery, lacquerware and metal handicrafts also use kimono patterns. There are many kinds of kimonos, not only men and women, unmarried and married, but also casual clothes and formal clothes. Kimono is generally divided into black sleeves, colored sleeves, local vibrating sleeves and medium vibrating sleeves. Men's kimonos are few in style, monotonous in color, dark in color, thin in belt and convenient to wear. Women's kimonos have many styles, bright colors and wide waist. Different kimono belts have different knots and different hairstyles. Married women wear "cuff" kimono, while unmarried women wear "cuff vibration" kimono. In addition, according to the different purposes of going out, such as visiting, playing and shopping, the patterns, colors and styles of wearing kimonos are also different. The wearing skills of kimono are born with the custom background of the times. Breathability is one of the great advantages and characteristics of kimono. Its cuffs, skirts and clothes can be opened and closed freely. But this kind of opening and closing (especially the opening and closing of the skirt) has a lot to pay attention to. Different opening and closing have different meanings, showing different identities of the wearer. For example, when an artist wears a kimono, the skirt is always open, and only one belt is tied at the V-shaped intersection of the skirt. On the other hand, if women who are not engaged in this profession wear kimonos, they must accept skirts. Similarly, the degree of skirt closing is also exquisite, which shows the marital status of the wearer: if a married woman, it is not necessary to close all the skirts, and the place near the neck can be opened. But if you are an unmarried girl, you must fold all your skirts. In fact, there are so many exquisite clothes in kimonos that there are "classrooms" in Japan that teach people how to wear kimonos.
