| 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 Yukata Yukata (浴衣) is a Japanese summer garment. People wearing yukata are a common sight at fireworks displays, bon-odori festivals, and other summer events. The yukata is also frequently worn after bathing at traditional Japanese inns. Though their use is not limited to after-bath wear, yukata literally means bath(ing) clothes. Jūnihitoe The jūnihitoe (十二単衣) is an extremely elegant and highly complex kimono that was only worn by court-ladies in 10th century Japan. Literally translated it means "twelve-layer robe". Samue Samue (作務衣) is the work clothing of a Japanese Zen monk. Happi  Happi (法被) is a traditional straight-sleeved coat usually made of indigo or brown cotton. Some happi are imprinted with a family crest or a organization's logo. Geta - Wikipedia - Danbooru  Geta (下駄) are a traditional Japanese sandal with an elevated wooden base held onto the foot with a fabric thong to keep the foot well above the ground. Sometimes geta are worn in rain or snow to keep the feet dry, due to their extra height. Hakama Hakama are worn on the lower half of the body, on top of a kimono. Traditionally they are worn by samurai. Haori - Wikipedia - Danbooru A coat worn on top of a kimono, usually added for formality. Fundoshi - Wikipedia - Danbooru Traditional Japanese style underwear (basically a loin cloth). |
