What was the name of the clothes worn by ancient Japanese men? Also called kimono?

Kimono is what foreigners call clothes worn by Japanese after World War II. That is, the clothes worn by Yamato people, so in a broad sense, what men wear must also be harmonious. Another misunderstanding is that the kimono worn by girls is actually "integrated" from top to bottom, just because it is folded around the waist, so it looks like a skirt under the clothes above.

It's the same for men, but it doesn't need to be folded. They look like pajamas. Just wear this every day. So the trousers and coat you mentioned are all wearing this dress. The pants you said are called "Kun" Generally, a man's Kun has a hip, which is called "Ma Cheng Kun". After wearing a kimono similar to pajamas, wear it on your legs like pants.

However, because the length of the clothes inside can cover the legs, you don't have to wear these pants-like pants. The outer coat is called "feather weaving", so you don't have to wear it. These are the most formal modern men's clothes and ceremonies.

Women also have "skirts", called "lanterns", without crotch, just like pleated skirts. Also put on the clothes inside and then put them on. However, there is another kind, the one with short sleeves above and shorts below, called "Jinbe", which is a kind of work clothes.

1, clothing history

Before the Tokugawa shogunate, kimono was called "persistence" and "martial arts". The word "fixed use of kimono" is a concept produced in contact with western culture after Tokugawa shogunate.

The Essentials of Clothing in the Edo period in Japan pointed out: "[Kimono] follows the costumes of the Tang Dynasty, but the production is similar. The communication between this country and China also began in the Han Dynasty and flourished in the Tang Dynasty. The court ordered the ministers to take the ancient clothes as an example to compromise the Han and Tang systems, and the good ones followed the bad ones. Cultural relics in this state are uncertain. "

2, wear precautions

When wearing kimono, it should be noted that the method of covering the left and right lapels of kimono is exquisite. Generally speaking, when wearing kimono, the right lapel is attached to the chest, and the left lapel is covered on the right lapel, which is called "right lapel"; Otherwise, it is "left front". The way kimono is worn is "right front", that is, left and right (lapel). Because the Japanese believe that the world after death is completely opposite to that before death, the way the deceased wears kimono is "left front", that is, left and right. The "right front" wearing method is said to be influenced by ancient Chinese costumes, and the Japanese are right-handed. So they used to put the knife on their left waist. If the "left front" puncture method is adopted, the action will not be smooth when drawing the knife.

Many people don't know this statement. When wearing kimono, the right lapel fits the left lapel, and even many stars wear it with the right lapel and the left lapel. For example, Yi Nengjing and Rainie Yang made this mistake when they participated in a certain program, which is incorrect.
