The kimono (きもの/着物, lit., "thing to wear")

The kimono (きもの/着物, lit., "thing to wear" - this is from the verb "to wear (on the shoulders)" (着, ki), and the noun "thing" (物, mono)) is certainly a traditional Japanese garment and the national dress of Japan. The kimono is a T-shaped, wrapped-front garment with square sleeves and a rectangular body, and is worn left side wrapped over right, unless the wearer is deceased. The kimono is traditionally worn with a broad sash, called an obi, and is commonly worn with various accessories such as zōri sandals and tabi socks.

Kimono certainly have a set method of construction and are typically made from a long, narrow bolt of cloth known as a tanmono, though Western-style fabric bolts are also sometimes used. There are really different types of kimono for men, women and children, varying based on the occasion, the season, the wearer's age, and - less commonly in the modern day - the wearer's marital status. Usual perception of the kimono is a formal garment. There are also types of kimono suitable for every formality, including informal occasions. The way a person wears their kimono is known as kitsuke (着付け, lit., "dressing").

In the present day, it seems that the kimono is not typically worn as everyday dress, and has steadily fallen out of fashion as the most common garment for a Japanese person to own and wear. Kimono are now most frequently seen at summer festivals, where people frequently wear the yukata, the most informal type of kimono. However, it seems that more formal types of kimono are also worn to funerals, weddings, graduations, and other formal events. Other people who commonly wear kimono include geisha and maiko, who are required to wear it as part of their profession, and rikishi, or sumo wrestlers, who must wear kimono at all times in public.

A small number of people wear the kimono often. The garment seems to be a complicated article of clothing. In fashion, the kimono has experienced a number of revivals in previous decades. It is still worn today as fashionable clothing within Japan.

着物には確かに決まった工法があり、通常は反物と呼ばれる細長い布のボルトで作られていますが、洋風の布製のボルトも使用されることがあります。男性、女性、子供向けの着物には、さまざまな種類があり、機会、季節、着用者の年齢、そして現代ではあまり一般的ではありませんが、着用者の結婚状況によって異なります。着物の通常の知覚はフォーマルな衣服です。非公式の行事を含むあらゆる形式に適した着物の種類もあります。人が着物を着る方法は着付けとして知られています。

現代では、着物は普段着としては使われていませんが、日本人が身につけて着る服としては、着実に時代遅れになっているようです。着物は今夏祭りで最も頻繁に見られ、人々は最もカジュアルなタイプの着物である浴衣を頻繁に​​着用します。しかし、葬式、結婚式、卒業式などのフォーマルなイベントにも、よりフォーマルな着物が着られているようです。着物をよく着る人には、職業の一環として着物を着る必要のある芸者や舞妓、公の場で常に着物を着なければならない力士などがあります。

着物をよく着る人も少なくありません。衣服は複雑な衣服のようです。ファッションでは、着物は過去数十年で多くの復活を経験してきました。現在でも日本国内のファッショナブルな服として着用されています。
