Japanese Traditional Costume Originated From Chinese Tang Costume.

 

The origin of kimono can be traced back to around third Century ad. According to Wei Zhi's biography of Japanese people, "one piece of cloth is worn with a hole in it, and the head goes through it without having to be tailored." This is the prototype of kimono.
In the era of Da he, the king sent three ambassadors to China for a large number of Han weaving, Wu weaving, and skilled craftsmen who were good at textile and sewing technology. Most of the Chinese immigrants in the East were also literati and craftsmen who introduced the Chinese style of clothing to Japan.
In the Nara era (AD 718), the Japanese mission to China was received by Tang Wang and a large number of royal clothes were given. The costumes were so popular that they were very popular in Japan. The following year, the emperor ordered that all the country in Japan wear clothes that imitate the style of Sui and Tang Dynasties.
In Fourteenth Century, in the period of the Mu Chi period, according to Japanese traditional customs and aesthetic taste, the clothing with the characteristics of Sui and Tang Dynasties gradually evolved and finalized, and there were no major changes in the following 600 years. As for the waist bag, Japanese women were created by the Christian missionary wearing a long gown and wearing a belt. They began to pack their bags in front and later moved to the back.
Before the Meiji Restoration in 1868, the Japanese wore kimono, but after the Meiji Restoration, men in the upper classes began to wear Western suits, which is commonly known as "Western clothes".
In 1923, when the Japanese Kanto earthquake occurred, women were still wearing kimono. Since then, Japanese women have gradually changed to wearing skirts or other garments. But kimono is still the most popular love of the Japanese today, whether in festivals, graduation ceremonies, weddings, funerals, or celebrating children's "753" and other important occasions, people can be seen everywhere in traditional kimono.

The first thing to mention kimono is the origin.
From the time of the rule of God, the Japanese clothing culture always carries a distinct "foreign" imprint. This is not only reflected in the form of clothing, but also in the weaving technology of fabrics.
 

 

From the time of emperor Ying, the close ties between Japan and Korea and China brought favorable conditions for the transmission of culture. The emperor Mikado even imitated the clothes of the Sui Dynasty and made the crown clothes and the Royal costume.
By the time of Nara, it was fashionable to imitate the costume and fashion of Tang Dynasty. However, extremes and extremes must be reversed. With the passage of time, the era of clothing with more personality and charm has come. This is the era of peace.
 

 

In the era of peace, Japan is also a "country wind era". After fully digesting the culture of Tang Dynasty, she graduated from university graduates onto the stage of history. At this time, clothes gradually get rid of external influences and develop unique luxury and exquisite features. For example, people familiar with Japanese history must have heard "Tang Yi" and "Twelve single". Tang Yi is a dress (dress), purple, Fei is expensive, resplendent, beautiful anomaly.
Twelve single practice is a way of dressing. She is not a twelve layer single garment. Instead, she has twelve layers of clothes called "Gui" on a single garment. It is light and transparent, and when it is stacked up, it can still vaguely see the color of a single coat or table, adding a hazy and trance aesthetic feeling. From here, we can also see the Japanese aesthetic sense, not only like the beauty of abstraction, but also the beauty of the natural world.
 

Because of excessive corruption and extravagance, the rule of public officials finally declined. In the period of Kamakura and the shogunate shogunate, a relatively lean and simple martial arts culture emerged, which is also reflected in the costume. Vertical and black hat are fashionable men's clothing, widely spread. Women's clothing becomes simple. In the period of Oda Nobunaga's Andu and Peach Hill, women's fashion was wearing small sleeves, though beautiful, but compared with Tang Yi and so on, it was still crude.
During this period, the "Nu le" with a distinctive folk character was gradually formed, and the elegant and luxurious "energy" costume appeared. At this time, the dress of the public official has not changed greatly, basically is the continuation of court costumes in the era of peace, and the final integration between the public and the Wu family is in the Meiji period.

In the period of Edo shogunate, men's clothing and women's clothing changed, for example, the shape of women's sleeves became close to the modern age, while men's fashionable plumes (with black five patterns as formal clothes, tea and yellow ones) became popular. However, the basic pattern has been set, and in the Meiji era, kimono has been set up, and has not changed much since then.
