Kimono, unul dintre cei mai cunoscuti termeni ai culturii japoneze, faimosul obiect devestimentatie, avand numeroase variatiuni precum Yukata, Furisode, Mofuku, Uchikake sauHoumongi, este poate cel mai important simbol al Japoniei. De-a lungul timpului a fost preluat sipurtat in intreaga lume, cu modificari infime, inspirand numeroase creatii de moda si liniivestimentare. In trecut era foarte cautat in Europa datorita exotismului si a matasei de cea maibuna calitate, unica in lume.
Furisodo
Furisodo este unul dintre cele mai importante kimono-uri din viata unei femei, primit atunci cando tanara japoneza implineste 20 de ani, varsta de la care este considerata adult. Din acelmoment are dreptul sa voteze, este raspunzatoare pentru faptele sale (inclusiv in fatatribunalului). Cei mai multi dintre parinti cumpara cu aceasta ocazie Furisodo, acel kimono caresarbatoreste momentul, confectionat din cea mai fina matase, in culori vii. In trecut aceastatraditie era deosebit de importanta, pentru ca o fata care purta Furisodo era pregatita pentrumaritis.
Acest tip de kimono se poarta cu ocazia mai multor evenimente sociale importante, dar in specialcu ocazia nuntilor sau la ceremonia ceaiului, iar tanara va renunta la el abia dupa casatorie. Infunctie de finetea materialului, model si calitate preturile pot fi mai mari sau mai mici. Una dintrecele mai importante sarbatori la care tinerele imbraca acest kimono are loc in a doua zi de lunidin ianuarie.
Cu ocazia casatoriei se poarta uchikake, kimono-ul pentru nunta, indispensabil in cazul uneiceremonii traditionale, dar si cel mai scump, multe viitoare sotii preferand sa il inchirieze.
Yukata
Yukata este kimono-ul purtat in timpul verii, fiind foarte usor, in culori puternice si cu modeletraditionale. Traditia cere ca aceste kimono-uri sa fie purtate cu ocazia sarbatorii traditionaleBon-Odori, prilej de intoarcere catre stramosi, sau la festivalurile din timpul verii, iar modelelesimple le fac sa fie preferate de multe femei japoneze. Yukata a aparut pentru prima oara inepoca Heian (794 - 1185), cand nobilii purtau astfel de kimono-uri usoare dupa baie. Mai tarziu

yukata a fost adoptat si de samurai, iar pana in epoca Edo a devenit foarte popular, pe masurace baia publica devenise un loc de relaxare.
The kimono (?)[1]
is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and
children. The word "kimono", which literally means a "thing to wear" ( k i "wear"
and mono "thing"),[2]
has come to denote these full -length robes. The standard plural of
the word kimono in English is k imonos,[3] but the unmarked Japanese plural k imono is
also sometimes used.
Kimono are T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with
attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimono are wrapped around the body, always
with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial),[4]
and secured
by a sash called an obi , which is tied at the back. Kimono are generally worn with
traditional footwear (especially zri or geta) and split-toe socks (tabi ).
[5]
Today, kimono are most often worn by women, and on special occasions. Traditionally,
unmarried women wore a style of kimono called furisode,[5] with almost floor-length
sleeves, on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear the
kimono on a daily basis. Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, tea ceremonies,
and other ver y special or ver y formal occasions. Professional sumo wrestlers are often
seen in the kimono because they are required to wear traditional Japanese dress
whenever appearing in public.[6]
Kimonos for men are available in various sizes and should fall approximately to the
ankle without tucking. A woman's kimono has additional length to allow for the ohashori ,
the tuck that can be seen under the obi, which is used to adjust the kimono to the
individual wearer. An ideally tailored kimono has sleeves that fall to the wrist when the
arms are lowered.
Kimonos are traditionally made from a single bolt of fabric called a tan. Tan come in
standard dimensions²about 14 inches wide and 12½ yards long[5]²and the entire bolt
is used to make one kimono. The finished kimono consists of four main strips of fabric ²
two panels covering the body and two panels forming the sleeves ²with additional
smaller strips forming the narrow front panels and collar.
[5]
Historically, kimonos wereoften taken apart for washing as separate panels and resewn by hand. Because the
entire bolt remains in the finished garment without cutting, the kimono can be retailored
easily to fit a different person. [5]
The maximum width of the sleeve is dictated by the widt h of the fabric. The distance
from the center of the spine to the end of the sleeve could not exceed twice the width of
the fabric. Traditional kimono fabric was typically no more than 36 centimeters

bindings are removed, an undyed pattern is revealed. Shibori work can be further
enhanced with yuzen (hand applied) dra wing or painting with textile dyes or with
embroider y; it is then known as tsujigahana. Shibori textiles are ver y time consuming to
produce and require great skill, so the textiles and garments created from them are ver y
expensive and highly prized.Old kimonos are often recycled in various ways: altered to make haori, hiyoku, or
kimonos for children, used to patch similar kimono, us ed for making handbags and
similar kimono accessories, and used to make covers, bags or cases for various
implements, especially for sweet-picks used in tea ceremonies. Damaged kimonos can
be disassembled and resewn to hide the soiled areas, and those with damage below the
waistline can be worn under a hakama. Historically, skilled craftsmen laboriously picked
the silk thread from old kimono and rewove it into a new textile in the width of a hek o
obi for men's kimono, using a recycling weaving method called sak i-ori .
Styles
Kimonos range from extremely formal to casual. The level of formality of women's
kimono is determined mostly by the pattern of the fabric, and color. Young women's
kimonos have longer sleeves, signif ying that they are not married, and tend to be more
elaborate than similarly formal older women's kimono. [5] Men's kimonos are usually one
basic shape and are mainly worn in subdued colors. Formality is also determined by the
type and color of accessories, the fabric, and the number or absence of k amon (family
crests), with five crests signif ying extreme formality.[5]
Silk is the most desirable, and
most formal, fabric. Kimonos made of fabrics such as cotton and polyester generally reflect a more casual style. It is said that the reason of these long sleeves is when
confessed by man, in case of replying "Yes," she waves sleeves back and forth, but as
for "no" left to right.
[edit]Women's kimonos
Many modern Japanese women lack the skill to put on a kimono unaided: the typical
woman's kimono outfit consists of twelve or more separate pieces that are worn,
matched, and secured in prescribed ways, and the assistance of licensed professional
kimono dressers may be required. Called upon mostly for special occasions, kimono
dressers both work out of hair salons and ma ke house calls.
Choosing an appropriate type of kimono requires knowledge of the garment's symbolism
and subtle social messages, reflecting the woman's age, marital status, and the level of
formality of the occasion rangers between all different placers in japan.
