Why are there pillows behind Japanese kimonos?

We have all seen Japanese kimonos. If we look closely, we will find a small pillow behind the kimono. Readers always want to know what the small pillow behind the Japanese women's kimono is for.

Japanese kimono. I believe everyone has a certain impression of kimono, especially the habit of carrying a small pillow behind his back. Do you know the origin of this kind of clothing? In fact, the earliest kimono was not conventional clothing, but was produced because of the special bathing method in Japan.

The earliest bathing method in Japan is not so much a bath as a steam bath, because their bathing method is similar to our sauna. Everyone in the sauna room knows that both the walls and cushions are very hot, so the Japanese often take a bath in clothes in order not to burn themselves.

The clothes worn at that time were the earliest kimono, but the kimono at that time was very simple. The lady's idea is to cut a hole in a piece of cloth, so that people can get through it, then tie the armpit with a rope, and then put on pants similar to a skirt. This is the most primitive and unified.

Later, because some Japanese scholars came to study in China, they found a particularly beautiful dress, which was worn by prostitutes. Later, they found that Japanese clothes had something in common with this kind of clothes, and they changed it to what it is now. It's just that they didn't learn the essence of China Tang suit, because they learned it from prostitutes.

The pillow behind them is actually not for convenience, but a belt, but Japan is poor and fastidious, so there are various ways to tie the belt. The knot like a pillow is one of as many as 200 ways to tie the knot.
