Kimono Japanese
Japanese fashion-magnificent Kimono
Kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, both for men and women. The word is composed of two Chinese letters. Ki comes from kiru, which means “to wear”, and mono means “thing”. So it literally means “a thing to wear”. A kimono is always long and then folded over at the waist. If you sew kimono for dolls, this is an important thing to remember. Children kimonos also usually have tucks on the shoulders to allow for growth.
A kimono is always put on a certain way. The right side is always folded over first and then the left side so that the open edge is along your right leg. This is very important to remember when you dress dolls. A kimono put on backwards with the open edge along the left leg is only used when dressing a body for a funeral. To check this, turn the doll around so that you are both facing the same direction and check to see that the open edge is along the right leg just like it would be if you were wearing one.
And there are many types of kimono used for different occassions. Here are some of the basic types that you will see made for dolls. There are many ways of tying the obi (belt) on the kimono. I have shown the most common ones in the pictures.
Regular Kimono
Depending on the fabric and the obi (belt), this type of kimono can be worn for everyday wear or for a formal occasion. For a wedding, many married women will wear one of these in black with gorgeous colorful designs along the bottom and their family crest on the sleeves and back of the neck. White socks with the big toe sewn separate are usually worn with the kimono.
Furisode – Long sleeve kimono
The long sleeve kimono is a formal kimono and is only worn by young unmarried woman. Once you are married, you don’t wear this type. A long sleeve kimono is worn for special occasions and ceremonies like a wedding, New Years day, Coming of Age ceremony, etc. There is a long sleeve kimono that 7 year old girls wear for their 7-5-3 ceremony which celebrates their good health and well being at the age of 7. It varies only slightly from the more adult version. White socks with the big toe sewn separate are always worn with the kimono.
Summer Kimono
Summer kimono are called yukata in Japanese. They are made of cotton and usually have a very simple belt without all the accessories that the other kimonos have. The more traditional summer kimono is a navy and white design. In recent years, these have become more colorful and now you can find them in a wide variety of colors and designs. This type of kimono is considered casual. It is often worn at summer festivals. Usually wooden clogs are worn with it with no socks. Recently different types of thong type sandals have also become popular though. The children’s version of this kimono is very similar to the adult except that the obi (belt) is usually a soft silk sash tied in a regular bow in back.
