The kimono is the traditional clothing of the Japanese people. The kimono is an elaborate garment made of layers of long flowing robes, in a wrap-around style, belted at the waist, and traditionally made of silk. These days kimono are no longer commonly worn as everyday clothing, and are largely reserved for ceremonial occasions. [1] [2]
The Japanese word kimono (pronounced kee-mo-no) translates as "clothing" or "things to wear". [3]
There are specific names for the various types of kimono, and each has a traditional style and color depending on the occasion for which it is worn and the age and marital status of the person wearing it. [4]
