Has the kimono worn by modern Japanese improved?

From the Meiji Restoration, of course, there has been improvement, but it mainly focuses on the choice of fabrics and color matching, and the tailoring has not changed much. Besides, the chaos in the Hanfu market really makes people catch chickens, but as long as they are willing to spend money, they can still find good clothes. For example, Minghuatang (there is no Taobao shop, but there are Weibo and blogs, nicknamed cotton candy), and the entry price of silk uniforms is 3,000 soft sister coins. . . Moreover, the concept of "Hanfu" is inextricably linked with nationalism (nonsense). For the sake of nationalism, some people pick up or even fabricate several characteristics of costumes in different periods, piece together things that do not conform to the inherent laws of costume development and traditional aesthetics to fool people to achieve their own political goals, or simply cater to the market demand for cheap fairy women's clothes to make some money, or both. These are pits, as far away as possible. Clothes are clothes, don't place any special sacred and lofty significance on her, otherwise you can only say: draw a picture and go to the stage to get clothes. One more thing, about the so-called "improvement". I think the word "improvement" has two meanings: one is that there are such things here, and the other is that it is not enough to meet people's needs. For kimono, improvement is very easy, there are ready-made objects and techniques to refer to, and you don't have to worry too much about cutting large structures. Just do it according to the established pattern and the size of the human body, mainly in the details of fabric and color matching to meet the diversified market demand. The so-called "Hanfu" is not so easy to improve. After all, she has been away from ordinary people's lives for hundreds of years. The old collections and unearthed cultural relics of Confucius House can be used for reference, but the production technology has to be explored by modern people. The so-called "Hanfu Renaissance Movement" in recent ten years is under the banner of "revival". However, due to the above reasons, and the main purpose of the early participants is to shape the symbols of nationalism, they ignored the inherent law of clothing evolution, as well as the traditional aesthetics and crafts, and randomly picked up/fabricated the clothing characteristics of different periods and places, and mixed some fakes (such as "Red and Black Songs"). Some people are led by the nose by onlookers. They say, "Oh, your clothes are too inconvenient to squeeze into the bus/ride. Some people do whatever is popular for making money, and their mothers do whatever they shoot. Japan and South Korea copy whatever they have-what? Clothes don't show your figure? Ok, then I'll wrap my hips around my waist and hold out my chest, and be sexy; What? Sleeves are not domineering enough? Ok, then I'll pull the lower edge of the cuff to my knee. Gee, I'll wear a wide robe and big sleeves without losing momentum-yes, this is also called "improvement" The word "improvement" is nothing but bitter tears.

In my opinion, even if we really intend to "revive Hanfu", it is absolutely enough to seriously restore the common styles of Han costumes in the Ming Dynasty, and there is no aesthetic conflict with today.
