THE JAPANESE KIMONO, A SYMBOL OF JAPANESE CULTURE
Originally worn during ceremonies and important events, the traditional Japanese kimono is one of the most recognizable garments of the Land of the Rising Sun. Its straight cut, wide sleeves and crossed collar reflect centuries of Japanese craftsmanship and cultural traditions.
The patterns of a Japanese kimono often carry a symbolic meaning. Cherry blossoms represent the fleeting beauty of life, koi carp evoke perseverance, while cranes, dragons and waves are associated with longevity, strength and protection.
THE DIFFERENT TYPES OF JAPANESE KIMONO
Several garments are commonly associated with the Japanese kimono style. The yukata is a lighter version traditionally worn during summer festivals, while the haori is a short, open jacket originally used to protect the kimono worn underneath.
Other traditional garments include the happi, recognizable by its straight sleeves and open front, and the hakama, a wide pleated garment historically worn by samurai. Each Japanese traditional clothing has its own purpose, history and distinctive silhouette.
HOW THE KIMONO BECAME A MODERN GARMENT
Today, the modern Japanese kimono is no longer reserved for ceremonies. Shorter cuts, lightweight fabrics and graphic prints allow it to be worn as an open jacket over a T-shirt, a dress or a casual streetwear outfit.
Mostly designed with a loose and unisex cut, the Japanese kimono jacket offers freedom of movement and can adapt to many body types. It creates a distinctive silhouette inspired by both traditional Japanese clothing and the streets of Tokyo.
