Japan - a country full of mysteries and secrets, its history and culture begins from the times of the ancient world. For centuries, Japanese national clothes were fascinating and surprising with their uniqueness and authenticity.
History of Japanese national clothes
National Japanese clothing, the history of which covers a huge time period, was developing along with the development of culture itself, traditions, work organization, and the activities of the ancient people of Japan. National costume of Japan consists of the following components: netsuke, hakama, kimono and geth.
So, Geta is sandals made of rectangular wood, fixed on the legs with the help of straps that run between the toes. In Japan, Geta came from China and was popular among ordinary people - in such high shoes it was convenient to collect rice and pick fruit from trees, and also to wear them in inclement weather.
Hakama are Japanese national long wide pants that resemble Ukrainian trousers - they were worn by men in their daily routine.
Japanese kimono
Speaking about the national Japanese women's clothing, I want to give due attention to such an element as a kimono. It has been considered a national dress since the middle of the 19th century. Initially, women wore kimono, or rather it was such a mikko and geisha uniform. Kimono is a robe, which is tightened by a waist in the waist, the length of the kimono is variable. The kimono sleeves are necessarily thicker than the hands of its master. The kimono is comfortable to wear and very practical. For the cut of a kimono soft materials are used. Kimono emphasizes only the shoulders and waist, which corresponds to the notion of the beauty of the Japanese people. The difference in the masculine and feminine kimono consisted in length, size, in the way of fixing and the design of the attire. The women's kimono is made up of twelve individual parts, and the male kimono is made up of only five. Married ladies did not allow themselves too bright decor and preferred a shortened arm, unmarried Japanese women - on the contrary. It is not easy to choose a kimono - it is hard work, because it must strictly correspond to the nature of the event, the position in society and the status of the owner. On a kimono necessarily hung netsuke - it represented a keychain cut from wood, playing the role of an accessory.
Japanese national clothes are fashionable and today - often modern girls use Japanese motifs in the image to emphasize their individuality.
