Young Asian Girl With A Watermelon Reveals In A Traditional Japanese Dress

Uses
For a very long time western clothes were for your street wear and Japanese dress was for your home, and the women would still work in kimono, even covering it with an apron or duster. For the most part modern kimonos are worn by women at special occasions. The furisode kimono is worn by single women, it’s usually bought for the coming-of-age ceremony but is also used for large social functions such as weddings and tea ceremonies. The uchikake kimono is worn on a girl’s wedding day, it is all white and very long. The houmongi kimono takes the place of the furisode once a woman is married and is usually made of solid colored fabrics. The yukata kimono is a light cotton kimono worn during the summer and at festivals. The tomesode kimono is only worn to a close relatives wedding, never at a friend’s wedding. The mofuku kimono is all black and worn to funerals, showing respect for the person who has died. You also have the hadjuban which is a white kimono like undergarment that is worn under all of the kimonos. Boys wear western suits for their coming-of-age ceremony, job interviews, work, weddings, and funerals, though the Japanese etiquette and rules of formality require the proper dress with great attention to detail, such as wearing a white tie to attend a wedding and a black tie, with the same black suit, to a funeral. Western style clothes are used for everything from relaxation, to play, to work and are used for the everyday living of the modern Japanese people.
