Kimono
Kimonos are T-shaped, straight-lined robes that fall to the ankle, with collars and wide, full-length sleeves. Kimonos are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial) and secured by a wide belt called an obi, which is usually tied at the back. There are several types of kimono, including
Iromuji (色無地): single-colored kimono that may be worn by married and unmarried women. They are mainly worn to tea ceremonies.
Kurotomesode (黒留袖): a black kimono patterned only below the waistline. They are often worn by the mothers of the bride and groom at weddings.
