典雅和服 Kimono

The kimono (著物, きもの) is a Japanese traditional garment. The word "kimono", which actually means a "thing to wear" (ki "wear" and mono "thing"), has come to denote these full-length robes. The standard plural of the word kimono in English is kimonos, but the unmarked Japanese plural kimono is also sometimes used. The kimono is always used in important festival or formal moments, it is the representative of polite and a very formal clothing.

Kimono has T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimono are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial) and secured by a sash called an obi, which is tied at the back. Kimono are generally worn with traditional footwear (especially zōri or geta) and split-toe socks.

Today, kimono 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.

 

和服(著物--きもの,kimono) ,是日本的民族服飾 。 江戶時代以前稱吳服 ,語出《 古事記 》、《 日本書紀 》、《 松窗夢語 》,在稱為和服之前, 日本的服裝被稱為“ 著物 ”,而日本古代所稱的“吳服”是“著物”的一種。 和服可分為公家著物和武家著物。 現今所謂和服實即古時之小袖 , 小袖的表著化始自室町時代 ,貴族的下著白小袖逐漸成為庶民的表衣。 “著物”除了包括“吳服"之外還包括肩衣袴、源自平安時代的狩衣等等,這些都非源自吳服,而是源自本土的傳統服飾。 十二單則是由奈良時代的裳唐衣加以改良而成,之後又有變化和創新。

和服起源可追溯至公元3世紀。 到了奈良時代 ,日本遣使來中國,獲贈大量光彩奪目的朝服。 次年,日本效仿隋唐服飾,至室町時代,和服在沿承唐朝服飾基礎上改進,而和服腰包則是受基督教傳教士穿長袍系腰帶影響而創造 。

日本人將他們對藝術的感覺淋漓盡致地表現在和服上。  在日本,出席冠禮( 成人式 )、婚禮、 葬禮 、 祭禮 、 劍道 、 弓道 、 棋道 、 茶道 、 花道 、卒業式、 宴會 、 雅樂 、文藝演出以及慶祝傳統節日的時候,日本人都會穿上端莊的和服去參加。 和服的穿著文化及禮法被稱為裝道。 和服承載了近30項關於染織技藝的日本重要無形文化財產以及50多項日本經濟產業大臣指定傳統工藝品。 製作和服的越後上布、 小千谷縮以及結城紬更是錄入了世界非物質文化遺產 。
