Item Description
Ceremonial Wedding Kimono- 100% silk Thousand Cranes Motif with padding for winter wear featuring silver and gold embroidery and hand painted and printed designs. Comes with decorative dowel hanger. Kimonos have been used for men's, women's and children's clothing since the Jomon Period over 1,700 years ago. The first kimonos were made from hemp and had no distinction between men's and women's styles. As sewing methods became more advanced during the Asuka Period, dating from 550 C.E. to 710 C.E., clothing became longer and styles between men's and women's kimonos became different. The kimono continued to evolve through the Heian Period of 792 C.E. to 1192 C.E., during which they became layered and color-coordinated to changes in seasons. Kimonos returned to highly-decorated, single-layer garments during the Edo Period, 1601 to 1867, which is the style commonly associated with the kimono today.
