The kimono

Traditional clothing symbol of Japanese culture, the kimono is a dream for tourists and photographers.

If its appearance dates back to the Heian era (794-1185), this style of dress was imported from China. 

The very term kimono, which appeared later in the XNUMXth century, is above all a reference to clothing in general, since the word combines the verb to wear (kiru) and the word chose (mono): ki-mono. "What you wear on you".
