    Kimono

    The Kimono is a symbol of longevity and good fortune. Specific motifs are used to indicate
    virtues or attributes of the wearer, or relate to the season or occasion such as weddings
    and festivals where it bestows good fortune on the wearer.
    The kimono
    The traditional dress of Japan is the kimono. Kimonos, which are generally made of silk,
    have large sleeves and reach from the shoulders all the way down to the heels. They are
    tied with a wide belt called an obi.
    Yukata literally means "bathing cloth", and it was originally intended to be just that.
    Traditionally, the garment is worn after bathing in a communal bath, functioning as a quick
    way to cover the body and to absorb remaining moisture. Fittingly, the yukata is often worn
    in hot spring (onsen) towns.
