At first, Japanese clothes had no waist knot. China in the prosperous Tang Dynasty was the Nara period in Japan, and Japanese envoys brought the culture of the Tang Dynasty back to China. By studying China's dress code, Japan has written a "dress code". The kimono at that time was actually an improved version of the Tang suit. At this time, the concept of kimono began to appear, with no waist knot behind it.

In the Kamakura era of the shogunate, the kimono had new changes, and the cuffs of the kimono became narrower and easier to move. Moreover, the political power at that time was controlled by the Wu family, and aristocratic families began to print family patterns on their clothes to show their differences. Finally, at that time, the Japanese began to tie a rope around the waist to outline the waist, which may be the predecessor of the waist knot.

Waist knot appeared in Edo period. In fact, the waist knot is a knot tied with a belt, and kimono is a wide belt to outline the waist. From the fashion point of view, the waist knot can modify the curve and highlight the gentle temperament of women.
