Why do Japanese girls seldom wear kimonos?

In the case of long holidays, many people will choose to travel abroad and feel different exotic customs. Each country has its own local characteristics, and it is different from China in terms of clothing, diet and traditional festivals. As far as Japan is concerned, everyone knows that Japan is a neighbor of China. Although it is a tiny place, its economic strength should not be underestimated. Because of the short distance, many Japanese people will also choose to travel to China, especially some female tourists. The first thing to do in Japan is to rent a kimono.

Kimono is the most representative dress of Japanese women. When it comes to its origin, it actually goes back to the official clothes of China in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. After it was introduced into Japan, it developed into what it is now after several improvements by Japanese people? Kimono? . Most of the kimono designs are beautiful and elegant, and the materials are fine, so some female tourists from China rent kimonos, and then walk in Japanese streets, taking pictures and leaving memories.

But I don't know if you have noticed that kimono is a symbol of Japanese women's clothing, but it is rarely seen in Japan. I remember when Bian Xiao traveled to Japan before, she met several women wearing kimonos on the streets of Japan, thinking that they were local Japanese women, thinking of getting a closer look at the patterns on the kimono, but I didn't expect to hear these women talking in Chinese. After further communication, I realized that they were also Japanese tourists visiting China.

So I asked a local female friend in Japan, and she said that Japanese women rarely wear kimonos when they go out, except for important formal occasions, such as weddings, graduation ceremonies or funerals. When I was a child, I would wear it to celebrate Children's Day and adult ceremony. Although she has a kimono, it is really troublesome to wear and requires a high figure. In addition, Japanese kimono is exquisite and exquisite, and it is not allowed to be treated rudely. For them, it takes a long time to put on a dress, and they are a little constrained after putting it on. It is best to dress simply and comfortably.

In Bian Xiao's view, female tourists from China actually rent kimonos and take photos in Japan to feel the power of beauty, just as many foreign friends also like our domestic Hanfu and Qipao, which is just a way to appreciate beauty. I don't know if you've ever seen anyone wearing a kimono while traveling in Japan. What do you think of the daily behavior of wearing traditional clothes?
