Smashing Kimono Sales

What is a Kimono ? This new term flash over my eyes just now when I visiting Smashing Pit Stop. I have do some research and …..here are some info that I found.

Kimono means a garment and is used by non-Japanese to refer generically to the many different forms of traditional Japanese dress. Ki comes from kiru, which means “to wear”, and mono means “thing”.

The basic form of the kimono, a square-cut body with square-cut sleeves, has remained unchanged since the 10th century. The major variations in the kimono have been in size, material, decoration, and number worn at one time. Kimono is a highly symbolic garment, and, over time, has become an outward sign of social conditions such as a woman’s marital status.

Today, the kimono is worn with an obi, a decorated band of cloth that is wrapped tightly around the torso, and tied at the back. The obi has been an important decorative element of the kimono ensemble since the Edo period (AD 1600 – 1868).
