ce am mai gasit si eu dintr-o carte pe care am imprumutat-o de la biblioteca:
"Japoneza de odinuara se imbraca aproximativ cam in felul urmator:direct pe piele, doua sortulete invelind salele, asa-numitele koshi-maki si suso-yoke, niste panze simple, de fapt, albe sau colorate in roz sau rosu.Peste acestea doua, o camasa (juban)din matase, mai rar din bumbac, viu colorata, cu un guler, obligatoriu din alta stofa mai frumoasa.Urma unul sau doua kimonouri propriu-zise sustinute de o coarda ingusta din stofa, numita shita-jime.Kimonourilese inchideau parte peste parte, stanga peste dreapta.Deasupra curdelutei shita-jime se petrecea un brau lat, o centura larga, lunga de aproximativ 4m, tesuta din matase, care infasura corpul la mijloc si putin mai sus, pana la axile, brau numit obi.
Broderia bogata, coloritul variat, adecvat anotimpului, facea din obi elemental cel mai semnificativ si mai sugestiv al imbracamintii.Primavara, desenul tesaturii reprezenta floarea de cires, toamna apareau pe obi frunzele artarilor rosii, iarna verdele pinuluii.Obi-ul se modela dupa varsta purtatoarei.La fetite, culorile erau explozive, tipatoare, pline de stralucire cruda, la fetele tinere se preferau culorile pastelate iar mai tarziu prevalau tente inchise.Obi-ul ca piesa de rezistenta a toaletei feminine, era mentinuta in pozitia dorita de obi-age impreuna cu o alta cingatoare obi-dome, un soi de siret incheiat inainte intr-o catarama din metel care putea sa fie chiar aur sau argint.
Peste kimono, la ceremonii se imbraca un haori,de fapt tot un kimono ceva mai scurt, legat in fata cu un snur dar tesut dintr-o panza foarte subtire de matase.Pe haori, ca si pe alte kimono-uri de ceremonie(la femeile varstnice se foloseau culori negre),erau cusute blazoanele familiei, asa-numitele mon, de obicei in cinci locuri(un mon in spate intre omoplati, cite unul pe dosul fiecarei maneci si doua mon-uri
pe piept).In imprejurari cu totul speciale,peste tot ce s-a mentionat mai sus se mai imbraca hakama, cu aspectul unei fuste largi, despicate ca niste pantaloni scurti si foarte largi.
Kimonourile se imbracau si se purtau cu dificultate, variau in functie de ceremonie si de imprejurare.Kimonoul de mireasa, de exemplu, trebuia sa aiba culorile rosu si alb.Kimonourile de ceremonie erau negre, brodate cu fir de aur si argint.Vara, in sezonul calduros, nu se mai potriveau acele kimono-uri rigide descrise mai sus, ci era necesar unul usor, simplu, denumit yukata, avand desene cu nuante de albastru pe fond alb.La origine,yukata se imbraca se imbraca in acelasi scop ca un halat de baie dar a devenit ulterior o haina de casa.Exista si un kimono pentru dormit, nemaki, echivalent al camasilor de noapte de la noi.
Barbatul purta cam aceleasi elemente, shita-obi-ul din tesatura fina de bumbac, dedesupt juban-ul dublat uneori iarna de o vesta numita dõ ji, peste care urma kimono-ul.Tot iarna, peste kimono-ul obisnuit se imbracau doua haine vatuite, shitagi si uwagi, legate cu nu obi ingust.
Barbatii din clasele inferioare, lucratorii modesti, purtau un fel de sort incheiat la spate cu niste bretele incrucisate(hara-gake).Gambele si le acopereau cu pantaloni scurti si foarte stramti(mono-hiki) precum si cu niste jambiere numite kyahan.Haina de deasupra, similara paltonului europenesc, purta numele de shirushi-banten.Pe spatele hainei era caligrafiat un hieroglif sau mai multe, reprezentand numele patronului, al stapanului de care apartinea."

Traditional Japanese Clothing Types
The traditional forms of japanese clothing or japanese clothes in general is called wafuku. Traditional japanese clothing can be broken down into the following clothing categories.
Kimono - meaning clothing or things to wear is the basic japanese clothing
Yukata - the summer kimono
Nagajugan - undergarments
Clothing Accessories - obi, shoes, socks, etc.
Haori - short silk jackets
Michiyuki - Overcoats
Hakama - japanese pants
Uchikake - most formal kimono
Shiro-maku - wedding kimono

How to Make a Kimono
As the traditional textiles of Japan were made primarily for personal attire, what we know today as the kimono determined not only the construction of the weaves and the patterning of the fabric but also the width of the cloth itself. A single bolt, or "tan", of cloth measures approximately 9 meters in length and 30 centimeters in width. This is sufficient to make one kimono, whether for men or for women regardless of height and weight. Thus kimono fabrics as a rule are sold by the bolt and rarely by the meter.

Kimono Pattern
The kimono pattern consists of four main strips of fabric. Two patterns form the panels covering the body and two panels for the sleeves. Additional smaller strips form the narrow front panel and collar.
Customarily, woven patterns and dyed repeat patterns are considered informal. Formal kimono have free-style designs dyed over the whole surface or along the hem. Originally, the kimono were worn in multiple layers of different colors. Up to a dozen or more colorful layers of contrasting colored kimono would be worn. Today, the kimono is normally worn with a single layer on top of a slip style undergarment.

The Changing of the Kimono Fabric
The formal kimono and obi belts were traditionally made of silk, silk brocade, silk crepes such as cherimen and satin weaves such as rinzu. Due to production costs, limited availability of skilled weavers and craftsman and the consumers economic and "easy care" demand, the kimono industry is striving to capture the demands by producing kimono of "easy care" casual type fabric. Today, most formal kimono are made of rayon, cotton sateen, cotton, polyester and other synthetic fibers except for the traditional wedding kimono.
Formal Obi Belts
A woman's formal obi is usually 4 meters long and 60 centimeters in width. The width is folded in half and the obi is wrapped twice around the waist and then tied in the back. Formal obi belts are made of a brocade or tapestry weave. The more pattern, the more formal is the basic rule. Today, an obi completely covered in its entirety with woven or embroidered design are now normally worn by a bride.

Casual Obi Sash
Obi for casual wear may be as narrow as 10 centimeters or as wide as 30 centimeters. They are are usually made of satin, twill, chirimen, gauze weaves, cotton, nylon or wool. The main difference between the formal obi and the casual obi is the material. Casual obi are not made of silk and do not have the elaborate silk brocade embroidered patterns. Although called casual, many are not casual looking at all. It is worn both with the kimono and the summer kimono "yukata".
1) Koshi-Himo Sash
The koshi-himo belt is the first belt tied around the waist. The belt is available in a variety of styles, materials and some newer styles even have velcro.
2) Date-Jime Belt
The date-jime belt is the second belt tied around the kimono covering the first koshi-himo belt.
3) Obi - Jime
The obi-jimi is a braided cord tied on top of the obi. Because the obi-jime is visible, it comes in a variety of colors and the color is chosen to compliment the obi.
Butterfly Obi Belts
This obi is a pre-tied belt that gives the impression of the complicated tied obi but is very simple to put on. The tied bow shape is called cho cho for the bow resembles the butterfly, thus giving it the name butterfly obi. The belt consists of two pieces; the wide belt and the bow. The belt is 5 feet in length and 6 inches in width The belt is wrapped twice around the waist and tucked under. The bow has a wire hanger to insert into the wrapped around belt.

Mens Obi Belts
There are two main types of men's obi belts used with men's kimono and summer kimono (yukata). They are either called kaku or heko.

Yukata - Summer Cotton Kimono
Yukata is the japanese summer cotton kimono.
The yukata is a japanese summer kimono worn by both men and women. The name yukata comes from the word "yu" (bath) and "katabira" (under clothing ). Thousands of years ago, Court Nobles wore linen "yukatabira" which were draped loosely after taking a bath. It gradually became worn by japanese warriors and then by the general public when the sophisticated japanese public bath became popular. Today, the traditional japanese yukata is widely used for everything from festivals, ryokan, summer daily wear to simple night attire. In Japan, the yukata is the most popular daily clothing wear and is beloved for its 100% lightweight cotton fabric. The fabric designs vary from the traditional plain cross hatch pattern to more colorful scenery designs.
