Something about KimonoThe kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children.The word “kimono”which literally means a “thing to wear” (ki "wear and mono “thing”),has come to denote these full-length robes.Kimonos made with exceptional skill from fine materials have been regarded as great works of art.Today, kimonos are most often worn by women, and on special occasions.Traditionally, unmarried women wore a style of kimono called furisode, with almost floor-length sleeves, on special occasions.A few older women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis.Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, tea ceremonies, and other very special or very formal occasions.Professional sumo wrestlers are often seen in the kimono because they are required to wear traditional Japanese dress whenever appearing in public.As the kimono has another name gofuku, the earliest kimonos were heavily influenced by traditional Han Chinese clothing, known today as faanfu,
