Clothing - Koromo

Japanese: 衣 - ころも
Clothing - Koromo
Kimono is a representative Japanese national costume. Tracing the history of kimono, we can trace it back to the kantoui of the Jomon period. The influence of Tang culture in the Asuka period, and the colorful Junihitoe of the Heian period. In the history of Japan, kimono culture is inseparable from us. What is generally called "kimono" today is a type of Japanese clothing called "nagagi". Nagagi are broadly divided into lining (awase) and unlining (hitoe), and are worn according to the season and the occasion. Kimono is a Japanese national costume, but the opportunities to wear it have decreased due to the generalization of Western clothing. However, in recent years, antique kimonos and Japanese patterns have become popular, and they are also popular among the younger generation. By interweaving old traditional methods with the new kimono culture of the future, Japan's beautiful kimono culture will continue to develop. Kimono are divided into two types: "woven" and "dyed". Woven kimonos are kimonos in which the threads are dyed first and then woven. Dyed kimonos are kimonos in which white fabric is woven and then patterns are hand-drawn or dyed. Kasuri and tsumugi are classified as woven kimonos, while furisode and houmongi are classified as dyed kimonos. Woven kimonos have the same fabric on the front and back, so even if the color on the front fades, you can turn it inside out and wear it again like a new kimono. Dyed kimonos can also be reborn as new kimonos by dyeing them again. Even if they get old, they are not thrown away immediately, but are given a new life. Japanese people's cherishing their possessions is conveyed through kimonos. The Japanese Culture Iroha Dictionary introduces kimonos in the following categories: "I" characteristics, "Ro" history and origin, and "Ha" method and style (etiquette).

Japanese:
日本の代表的な民族衣装である「着物」。着物の歴史をさかのぼると、縄文時代の貫頭衣〔かんとうい〕にまで辿り着きます。飛鳥時代の唐文化の影響、平安時代の鮮やかな十二単。日本の歴史のなかで、着物文化は私達と切り離す事ができません。現在一般的に「きもの」と呼ばれているものは、和服の中の「長着〔ながぎ〕」にあたります。長着の仕立てには、裏の付いた袷〔あわせ〕仕立てと裏の付いてない単〔ひとえ〕仕立てに大別され、季節やTPOによって着分けます。日本の民族衣装である着物ですが、洋服の一般化によって着用する機会が減少していました。しかし最近ではアンティーク着物や和柄の流行により、若い世代に も人気です。これからの新たなきもの文化に昔ながらの伝統的な作法を織り交ぜ、今後も日本の美しいきもの文化は発展していく事でしょう。着 物の種類は「織り」と「染め」の2種類に分けられます。織りの着物とは初めに糸を染めておき、後から織り上げた着物のことをいいます。染めの着物とは、白 い生地を織り上げ、後から布地に模様を手描きしたり、色で染めたりする着物のことをいいます。絣や紬などは織りの着物に分類され、振袖や訪問着などは染め の着物に分けられます。織りの着物は、表と裏地が同じ繊維なので、表の色が薄れてきても、裏返しにするとまた新しい着物のように着ることができます。染め の着物の場合も、再び染め直すことで、また新しい着物として生まれ変わります。古くなってもすぐには捨てず、また新しく生まれ変わらせる。着物からは日本 人の物を大切にする心が伝わってきます。日本文化いろは事典では、着物を 「い」特徴、「ろ」歴史・由来、「は」方法・形式(作法)という内容でご紹介しています。
