The kimono is the traditional clothing of Japan. Kimono styles
have changed significantly from one period of Japan's history to
another, and today there are many different types of kimono worn by
men, women, and children. The cut, color, fabric, and decorations of
a kimono may vary according to the sex, age, and marital status of the
wearer, the season of the year, and the occasion for which the kimono
is worn.
