Kimonos are the traditional garbs of Japan. The style and construction of the Kimono has varied over time but the word usually refers to the full-length wrap-around robe worn by both men and women. The Kimono is held in place by a robe called obi. The Kimono is nowadays by most people in Japan worn only on special occasions like Weddings or formal parties.
