Kimono is Culture.<\/h3>\n

Kimono is Culture.
\nWhen I started working at this Japanese Traditional store, our parents had been wearing kimono as daily casual clothes. At that time, most of our mothers made our own kimonos by hand from scratch.
\nThey seemed to put a lot of thought into making the kimono from the step of cutting cloth until it is completely made and dressed.
\nI started working here without knowing anything ,but I was taught a lot by the customers. 40 years has passed since then and the number of people who know that much about kimono has gradually declined recently. At present, these are fewer and fewer people having knowleage of celebration clothing of children or even the koshiage of Yukata. Just by adjusting he length of shoulder part (kata-age) or the waist part (koshi-age) of the kimono, a child can wear his\/her kimono for at least 3-4 years.
\nMoreover, if you told the kimono carefully, it will not get wrinkles easily or be bulky anymore. Therefore, it becomes more convenient to be carried when you travel throughout or outside the country.
\nAnother distinctive of kimono is the fast that regardless of your baby size, whether you are chubby or skinny, tall or short, you can certainly fit in a kimono of your own size. Even a pregnant woman can wear kimono.
\nIt is known that your body size\u2019s changing means you can no longer wear your old western clothes. However, when it comes to kimono, the situation is different. Recently, there are more and more foreign customers coming to our store. I have a feeling that when they come to japan they want to see more of the kimono figure, don\u2019t they.
\nWhen it comes to Japan, people remind of kimono. This is to say that kimono is not only history but also culture of Japan.
\nI really hope the knowledge of kimono will remain for long and Japanese will become aware of those merits of kimono,
\nTill now, the figure of a bride I remember most is that of a wearing Furisode passed down from her to grandmother. A kimono passed down from grandmother to mother, from mother to daughter and then from daughter to her child, certainly has its own spiritual value, isn\u2019t it? <\/p>\n
