What do Japanese wear kimonos?

Most of them are small handbags, which contain money, hairpins, cosmetics and other female products. The color of the bag matches the color of the kimono.

Precautions for wearing:

From top to bottom, it is morality (purple), benevolence (green), courtesy (red), faith (yellow), righteousness (white) and wisdom (black). These six colors and crowns are subdivided into two types: size and size, with * * * twelve orders.

In Japanese history, orange, crimson, cyan and purple were designated as the dress colors of crown prince, emperor, emperor and prince respectively, which restricted others' use. Especially crimson and purple, are not allowed to be used by people outside the royal family. This rule continued until 1945.

On the murals of Takamatsu's ancient tomb in Japan, there are not only portraits of men and women in Tang costumes, but also pictures of Qinglong, Suzaku, White Tiger and Xuanwu (black turtle) as the patrons of the four directions. Until today, in some parts of Japan, white and red are generally not used for grand ceremonies when wearing kimonos. Because: white represents holiness and purity; Red symbolizes magic.
