Kimono Fabric - A Brief History of Traditional Japanese Clothing
Kimonos are the traditional dress of Japan and originated sometime before 300 A.D. Styles have changed over the ensuing centuries based in part on the period of history, customs of the Imperial Court, the development of dyeing techniques, and the availability of material. Decorations of the kimono also varied according to the sex of the wearer, martial status, season of the year, and occasion.
One of the most beautiful kimono styles developed during the Heian Period from 792 - 1192 A.D. This particular design is still used by the Imperial household today for ceremonies and special occasions.
Over the years, the kimono has changed from hemp material to the finest in silks, developed when the Chinese introduced silk worms to Japan. Now complex patterns can be made such as flowers and birds and improved dyeing techniques can capture all colors of the rainbow.
