NATIONAL COSTUME: THE KIMONO
The first kimonos appeared in the 5th century.
The kimono looks like a T-form dress. It can be of different length. You should use a special belt because there are no buttons on it.
The kimono is made of one piece of cloth. If you want to make a kimono for a woman, you should take minimum 10 metres of cloth. A traditional kimono is a handmade work. The traditional fabric is silk. But today Japanese people usually use sateen and сotton for making kimonos because they are cheaper than silk.
There are a lot of different kinds of kimonos. It can be official and for every day use. It can be only for winter and for summer. If you see a woman in a very bright kimono with very long sleeves, you can say that this woman is unmarried.
Today it is very unusual to see a person who is wearing a kimono. Japanese old people usually wear it. As for young Japanese, they only wear a kimono on special occasions, for example a wedding.
By the way, a traditional kimono is very expensive. It can cost about 300 hundred rubles. Together with all accessories it can cost more than 600 hundred rubles.

Every woman must wear something on her head; usually it was a shawl or a hat. Only young girls could wear nothing on their heads.
