Different from the European clothes, Kimono does not consist of two pieces (upper and lower parts), and it is a costume peculiar to Japan as its long dress is fastened by obi (belt). Culture, which could be found only among the Japanese, is condensed in it.
And, the Japanese aesthetic feeling, which is fostered exactly by the culture, is expressed everywhere in the design of kimono.
There is a wide variety of kimono, from the one of polyester that can be readily put on to the special, artistic one that would require one year to be produced, and the workmen of the Living National Treasure extensively exist.
