It is the most modern Japanese Western clothing?

The kimono and obi belt around the waist and Geta were originated in more than one thousand years in Japan. The material used for this form ranges from the most expensive silk fabrics cheaper processing of flax. The kimono is often a relic from mother to daughter, sometimes passing through several generations. Since the kimono was a basic model, could people with different types of adaptation of the body by adjusting the neck and waist. Modern Japanese Clothingcombines the influences of traditional kimono with modern Western clothing.

The traditional kimono is banned as a ceremonial dress in modern Japan. The kimono is usually worn only during the new year or a marriage. Fashion in Japan wear clothes these two worlds, which are wrapped like kimonos. Geta, who was the traditional footwear in Japan shows its traces in the shoes platform today. shopping streets in Tokyo displaycolored stockings that are a combination of traditional tabi with western colors. Tabi is the traditional padded socks worn at home, like the Japanese are barefoot in their homes. Traces of Sashiko, the traditional quilted jacket can also be seen in modern coats. So if you're in Tokyo, you may see in a fine mix of old Japan and Western Europe in the youth of modern Japan. Kimonos and platform shoes between them, with a haircut West - which is what many youngJapanese clothing can be seen dressed in, however, modern Japanese clothing is best described as Japanese with Western elements largely accepted.

The change probably occurred after the Second World War. Since 1946, he began a series of fashion magazines gaining popularity in Japan, as S n, new style, which showed Japanese women how to dress. Not just a magazine to present finished garments and clothing, this served the purpose of fashion magazinesLeaders. The newspapers showed Japanese women how to sew clothes in kimono and her husband dressed in old coats. This was a complete manual sewing silk kimono and soon began the transformation in silk gowns like New York and Paris drawings and Japanese men began adorning clothes.

Another reason for the suppression of antique kimono modern Japanese clothing is the growing popularity of man-made fabrics. From 1975-1988 decreased the production of silk39percent and since they are in kimonos, silk kimono is losing popularity as everyday clothing. A series of stereotypes, they put the kimono a return. younger women, the lack of support when you buy a kimono, which colors should buy and also where to buy them is an unanswered question for a large percentage. There is also a common idea that is difficult to bear alone, and a kimono only for special occasions. The idea that they are expensive also discouragedmany young buyers.

A total Westernization will never happen because the rich Japanese culture, but a healthy mix of Western and traditional views on the streets of Tokyo and other cities every day. Nike T-shirt and a skirt on Geta is not an uncommon sight, the only sad part may be the decline of the traditional kimono dress in modern Japan.
