Are kimonos really about convenience?

Not really.

The kimono is a status symbol for the Japanese and is the traditional national costume of the Japanese. In the beginning, the kimono was a thin undershirt that was worn only when bathing, and later it was changed to normal, simple clothing. Due to the influence of the Chinese Tang suit, the Japanese kimono began to be decorated and changed into the "Japanese dress" with a special meaning, which is actually a costume designed after the Tang suit.

There are many types of kimono, including men's and women's kimono, unmarried and married kimono, as well as casual wear and dress. Men's kimonos have fewer styles, are more monotonous and darker in color, and have thin obi sashes that make them easier to wear. Women's kimono styles are varied, colorful, wide obi, different kimono obi knots are different, but also with different hairstyles.

Some women's kimono for the back will tie a "small pillow", in fact, that small pillow is nothing special, the Japanese call it "belt", just the belt only, but the Japanese are poor and elaborate to tie the belt out of the flower, so it would be In the waist to tie a different flower knot, the standard name should be called "belt pillow".
