Brief History of the Kimono

The kimono is not just a form of dressing among the Japanese but is also a clear reflection of how the Japanese history has evolved. The Kimono style has changed from one era to the next throughout its history to what it has become today. The Kimono inception dates back to a period in Japan history referred to as the Jomon period. Then, kimono was in the form of a garment draped loosely over the body since the wearers then did not have much use for clothing as their main activity was hunting and gathering. Between 300 and 550 AD, the pattern of the Kimono changed and became a two-piece garment and this was greatly influenced by the arrival of Chinese who came and settled with the Japanese. They introduced worms made of silk which were used to make kimono using a single colour, white.

During the next period between 550 and 710AD, the kimono style was differentiated into three groups namely uniform, formal and court. The kimono was made in newer styles with the sleeves being modified to become longer and wider. The style varied depending on the intended group for which it was being made and the use of colour was also introduced.
