Which country did kimono originate from?

Kimono originated in Japan and is a traditional Japanese costume. However, the kimono was transformed from the traditional costumes in ancient China, so the origin of the kimono should still be in China. Because in the Tang Dynasty, Japan and China had very close contacts, and the kimono was also modeled after the clothing styles of Zhejiang people at that time, so the kimono was also called Wufu. After the Japanese learned to make Wufu, they sent it back to Japan, and after transformation and processing, it became a traditional Japanese clothing kimono.

In ancient times, Japan called clothes objects, that is, the meaning of clothes worn, so kimono should be the product of a combination of multiple cultures. In Japanese, Wufu means the fabric from China, which means that the origin of kimono should be in China. As we all know, the cultural exchanges between China and Japan were very close during the Tang and Song Dynasties. At that time, China was already in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and Japan was just a small country that had just developed. Therefore, Japanese should learn from China in food, clothing, housing and transportation.

In the Edo era, kimono was also called Wufu, but after a long period of development, kimono changed according to the living habits of local residents, so there is the present kimono. Moreover, Japan has now designed different kimonos according to different ages, and each kimono represents a special meaning. Different ages also have different styles of kimonos and different ways of wearing belts. Moreover, Japanese kimono culture is becoming more and more rigorous, and even kimono styles with different uses are different.

Because Japan does not have its own culture, it has absorbed many cultures from other countries in its communication and cultural integration with China, so it has gradually merged into a unique Japanese culture in its development. No matter whether it is Japanese clothing or lifestyle, we can get a glimpse of tang style. It can be seen that Japan was deeply influenced by the Tang Dynasty. Although China's culture had little to do with the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty had a great influence on Japanese.
