kimono life

着物 Kimono
着物 Kimono / themonnie

 Some people wear kimono on special occasions such as on New Year's day, Coming of age Day ceremonies, wedding party.... But most Japanese wear Western style clothing in daily life.

There are mainly 3kinds of Women's kimono.

 Furisode

 Formal kimono with long sleeves worn by unmarried young woman  on Coming of age day or graduation ceremony or wedding receptions.


Tomesode

Houmongi

A semi formal Kimono worn on New Year's Day or a formal visit. Some young mother wore Houmongi on her child's entrance ceremony but nowadays it's quite few.


Yukata
≪浴衣3点set≫プチゴージャスlimited roserose
The Yukata is a single-layered cotton kimono. It's worn after taking a bath or during summer.
It's very populer among young people and foreigners. Because it's easy to wear. You can wear by yourself. But as for kimono... it's hard to wear by yourself. And it's cheap.  You can get Yukata set (includes Yukata, geta(footwear),obi(kind of belt) and sometimes includes bags and some accesary) for around 10000yen.


As for men's kimono
