Kimono is Japan's national costume, the highly traditional Japanese culture for hundreds of years and the Japanese life closely linked. Even today, whenever there's a holiday or a wedding, funeral, graduation ceremonies and celebrations such as a grand occasion, the Japanese kimono is still the first choice. 和服是日本的民族服装，极富日本传统文化特色，千百年来与日本人的生活息息相连。直到现在，逢年过节或在婚礼、葬礼、毕业典礼及庆祝会等隆重场合上，和服仍是日本人的首选。
The kimono (着物?)[1] is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children. The word kimono, which literally means a thing to wear (ki wear and mono thing),[2] has come to denote these full-length robes. The standard plural of the word kimono in English is kimonos,[3] but the unmarked Japanese plural kimono is also sometimes used.Kimonos are T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimonos are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial),[4] and secured by a sash called an obi, which is tied at the back. Kimonos are generally worn with traditional footwear (especially zōri or geta) and split-toe socks (tabi).[5]Today, kimonos are most often worn by women, and on special occasions. Traditionally, unmarried women wore a style of kimono called furisode,[5] with almost floor-length sleeves, on special occasions. A few older women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis. Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions. Professional sumo wrestlers are often seen in the kimono because they are required to wear traditional Japanese dress whenever appearing in public
