Kimono - traditional clothing of Japan

The kimono is a traditional clothing of Japan for men and women that has existed since time immemorial. Only in Edo era, kimono experiencing changes that are still maintained, that sleeve is slightly longer for women who are not married and obi (wide belt to tighten kimono) are even greater.
