History
The original type of kimono was mainly influenced by traditional Chinese clothing through extensive cultural exchanges between the two countries starting in the 5th century ce. The modern kimono began to take shape during Japan's Heian period (794・192 ce). Since then, the basic shape of both men's and women's kimono has remained essentially unchanged.
Kimono is a beautiful Japanese costume. Nowaday Japanese people wear it only for ceremonial ocasions such as weddings, universaity graduation ceremonies,tea ceremonies, parties, and funerals though it used to be everyday dress.
