Why is it normal to wear kimono in Japan when it is the same traditional dress?

Because there are a lot of festivals in Japan where you have to wear a kimono to participate, let's say a lot of Japanese people wear kimono for their Bar Mitzvah. It can be said that the kimono has been well inherited in Japan, and people are more accepting of it. But the Hanbok, like ours, is actually a broken heritage. In the past, basically no one would wear hanbok, and there were no stores selling hanbok. But now it's kind of much better, there are more little brothers and sisters wearing Hanbok.

01, Japan's kimono heritage has not been broken, but we have a lot of Hanbok

From the point of view of the development of history, our history is relatively long, so our traditional dress through different years of reform and change, relatively speaking, inherited is more difficult. But Japan's history isn't as long, and their rule basically hasn't gone through much change nor any cultural reforms, so their costumes have been passed down well, so it's not uncommon to see kimonos on the street.

02, Japan's cultural inclusiveness is very strong, more open-minded

If you walk on the streets of Japan, you will find that Japan not only wear kimono people, and even women's clothing will appear in the street, but does not attract much attention. Japan is a country of otaku and secondary culture, so even cosplayers walking on the road is something people are used to. Kimono, as their traditional dress, appears on many occasions, such as at various festivals and temple fairs, and is very common.

03, hanboks are also getting better and better, the acceptance will be higher and higher in the future

In fact, relative to hanboks and services are more everyday some, so wearing occasions will be more. You think about wearing hanbok in the summer to wear several layers, it is directly dissuaded. But now after a variety of business improvement and modern young people's acceptance has become higher, Hanbok not only has the traditional form, but also has nowadays improved. A few years ago was known as strange clothing, now will only make everyone feel that there is a high degree of ornamental, Song system of clothing is also very everyday.
