Kimono (Original)
- Description
Japanese Kimono
The history of the kimono dates back over a thousand years in Japan. Originally, the kimono was a simple garment made from a single piece of fabric, draped and wrapped around the body. During the Heian period (794-1185), the kimono became more formalized and began to feature elaborate patterns and colors, particularly among the nobility. It was also during this period that the distinctive T-shape of the kimono emerged. Over subsequent centuries, the kimono evolved, witnessing alterations in sleeve length, collar styles, and the integration of diverse textile techniques like dyeing and weaving. The Edo period (1603-1868) saw a heightened regulation of kimono wear through sumptuary laws. These laws dictated the permissible fabrics, colors, and designs based on an individual's social standing.
