Japan Edo period The "Costume Essentials Copy" pointed out: "Kimono along the Tang clothing and its system is similar. Bongtong China also began in Han Dynasty, Flourish in The Tang Dynasty. The court ordered the good officials to follow the ancient clothes 徃 and compromise with the system of Han and Tang dynasties, and those who were good followed the bad did nothing. The cultural relics of this country are not easy to live for thousands of years." [5]
Before the Tang Dynasty, Japanese kimono color is relatively simple, mostly original color, national color, the same dress almost the same color; in Tang dynasty culture Under the influence of kimono color, especially the Yamato type aristocrats Dress color Entering the peak period, at this time, the nobility is divided into colors, such as the clothing color from the top down is deep purple, light purple, crimson, blue, green, black; The color decoration of women's clothing breaks the original single color, and at the same time, the main tone of green, blue and red, add other colors or patterns, the color is gorgeous, the color contrast is obvious, giving people a refreshing feeling [6] .
Hanfu with train and kimono with vibrating sleeves
Wu Fu (ごふく gofuku) The title originates from The Three Kingdoms period of China, because Eastern Wu Dynasty Trade with Japan introduced textile and clothing sewing methods to Japan, and the name began to appear. On a more precise level, the term Wufu refers specifically to a high-class kimono made of silk, while a kimono made of linen would be referred to as "tai-thing". In June 1957, Kyoto , Osaka , China, Nagoya , Tokyo Each Wufu Professional store co-founded the national Wufu Professional store association.
The origins of the kimono date back to the 3rd century AD. Here we are Nara period When Japanese envoys came to China, they were presented with a large number of dazzling court clothes. Japan followed suit the following year Sui and Tang dynasties Dress, to Muromachi period The kimono is in the rim Tang dynasty costume The kimono Fanny pack was created after Christian missionaries wore long robes and belts [6] .
The Japanese bring their sense of art to the kimono [7] . In Japan, attend Coming-of-age ceremony , wedding, funeral, sacrifice, Kendo, kyudo , The way of chess , Tea ceremony , Flower way , graduation ceremony, banquet, Gagaku , performances and celebrations Traditional festival Japanese people wear demure kimonos to attend [8] . The culture and ritual of wearing the kimono is called sudo. The kimono carries nearly 30 important intangible cultural assets of Japan related to dyeing and weaving skills and more than 50 Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan Traditional crafts are specified. Echigo Kamibu, who makes kimonos, Small thousand valley shrink And knot city Noil is entered into the world intangible cultural heritage.
On June 8, 1992, the National Wufu Professional Store association was changed to the national Wufu professional store collaboration combination. [9]
Wudi in China is famous for its Wu Fu [1] . " Loose window sleep talk "As for folk customs, most of the Jiangnan extravagance in the north of the river, and the Jiangnan extravagance is especially Sanwu." Since the past Wu custom luxury, strange music, human feelings are viewed. Wu uniform and China, think is not Ferwen also; Wu made the machine and the United States, think not is the virgin also. Four heavy Wu fu, and Wu Yi work in the service; Four precious Wu, and Wu Yi works in the tool. A surname Takayuki The more extravagant people are, the more extravagant they are, and those who view the four sides in Wu will be able to pull in frugality."
" Kojiki The book says: "If there is a wise man to pay. So I was ordered to pay tribute to his name. And you Ji division. namely Analects of Confucius Ten volumes. A thousand words in a volume. And eleven rolls to pay is the tribute. And tribute overhand people Han forging. The name Zhuo Su. Both Wufu and Nishisu. The ancestor of Qin Dynasty. The ancestor of the Han Straight." namely Paekje to Emperor Ingami Among the tributes were the Analects of Confucius, Thousand character , blacksmiths and two seams from Wu Weaver girl . This matter has nothing to do with Hyogo Ohime of the Wu Fu Shrine and Aji of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Liu Azhi ) About. "In thirty-seven years, the emperor sent Azhi to bring the Lord to Wu to ask for a seamer, and received four women including Wu Zhi, Jizhi and Wu Zhi. Hui Di collapse, because Rende Di." In other words, at that time, two orihime were transported from China to China's textile technology, and after the death of Wu Zhiyuan, she was worshipped as a Wu Fu God in the Wu Fu Shrine. [10]
"Japanese Shoji · Xionglue 14th year" said: "In the first month of spring 14, Bingyin Shuo Wuyin, the master of Shenxia village - Qing and other representatives of the Wu State, Wu offered the hand at the end of the chi, Han weaving, Wu weaving And the clothes sewed brother Yuan, brother Yuan, etc., parked in Sumiyotsu ", that is, Wuguo から Hanori が Wuori ferry 帰 hua. The book "Nihon Shoji" said: "In the spring and February of thirty-seven years, on the new day of the Moon, I sent A Zhi to the Lord, to add the Lord to Wu, to ask for a seamer. Love makes the Lord wait Korea The kingdom wants to reach Wu."
" Nippon Kokushi He also said: "At the beginning of the God Emperor, he obtained the book" Analects of Confucius "," Qian Wen "In Baekje Wang Ren . Forty-one years Boxer Festival After sending A Zhi to make the Lord, Du He made the Lord in Wu, two people, after the Han Xiaoling Emperor also, after the Zen of Wei, the chaos to Japan. Kaugeng afternoon is The Western Jin Dynasty (536-597) Yongjia four years, its day Wu, meaning at that time Wu land also. The matter is contained in the Japanese book "Ihin Honji". Asking for a sewing woman. Arrived in Korea Gaoli is vice Jiu Libo, Jiu Reshi The two people are township guides, and the female workers also ". Therefore, the textile and sewing techniques of kimono were first introduced from China. In addition, the Osei Shrine in Kyoto is also dedicated to Wu Zhi Nu and Han Zhi Nu. Shrine stone sign book "Taiqin Ming God Wu weaving God Han weaving god; Silkworm rearing machine weaving orchestra dance Ancestor God ". Another Japan Nishimiya Kita Ihime Daiming god who offered sacrifices to Inajo Shrine. Japanese ballad Wu Fu sings: "Incredible の things を smell くものかな. それは formerly の Jun が for に. The State of Tang よりも du されし. The words "Ayaori and her の and her なるが. Now に is れ to ふは. What といひたる やらん."
In the past, the two concepts of Wu fu and kimono were separate (because most of the public items worn by the nobility were not derived from them) Eastern Wu Dynasty It originated in the Tang Dynasty, and this kind of clothing was also called" Tang Fu But today the two concepts almost overlap. Lots of kimono shops, signs Will meet It says "go ku fu ya", showing that the two words have basically become synonymous. [1]

Cultural characteristics

There are many varieties of kimono, regardless of color, texture and style, which have changed over the past thousand years. Not only are there obvious differences between men and women (men's kimono color is more monotonous, black, less style, thin belt, simple accessories, easy to wear; The women's kimono is colorful and colorful, the belt is very wide, and there are many accessories), and depending on the occasion and time, people will wear different kimonos to show prudence (the women's kimono has wedding kimono, adult kimono, evening kimono, banquet kimono and general dress). kimono Weaving and dyeing And embroidery, as well as the elaborate rules of dress (the kimono is worn with clogs, cloth socks, and different hairstyles depending on the type of kimono) make it a work of art. Designers constantly innovate in color and texture, applying a variety of bold designs to color, so that the modern impression is cleverly integrated into the classical form.
kimono Plane clipping It is almost entirely composed of straight lines, that is, straight lines create the beauty of the kimono. There is almost no curve in the kimono cut, but there is a 20cm slit at the collar, and the excess is folded together when the collar is raised. If you take the kimono apart, you can see that the fabric used to make the kimono is still a complete rectangle. Because the cutting and making of kimono has the above characteristics, it is relatively free in terms of tailoring. In the production of kimono, less people's body shape, height, fat and thin different people, even wearing the same size kimono, rarely give people the impression that the clothes are not fit. Because, it can vary from person to person, adjust the size in the waist. Although the kimono is basically composed of straight lines, interspersed on the body in a straight tube shape, the lack of pairs Human curve But it can show solemn, stable, quiet, in line with the temperament of the Japanese. Not only that, but the kimono was also adapted to Japanese nature; Most of Japan is warm and humid, so clothing ventilation is very important. Because the kimono is loose, the clothes Air hole There are as many as eight, and the sleeves, skirts, and trains of the kimono can be free Opening and closing So it is very suitable for the climate of Japan.
Ventilation is a major advantage and feature of the kimono, so the cuff of the kimono, The front of a Chinese jacket or jacket , train Can open and close freely. However, this opening and closing, especially the opening and closing of the garment, has many concerns. Different opening and closing have different meanings, showing different identities of the wearers. For example, when an artist wears a kimono, the front of the garment is always open, and only at the intersection of the "V" shape of the garment is tied. This way of dressing not only gives people a sense of kimono without taking off, showing a subtle beauty, but also shows the identity of the women engaged in the profession. On the other hand, if a woman not engaged in the occupation is wearing a kimono, the skirt must be closed. But even if it is a closed shirt, its degree is also exquisite, and it shows the wearer's Marital status If it is a married woman, then the skirt does not have to be all closed, you can open the place near the neck. However, if it is an unmarried girl, the skirt must be fully closed. In fact, there is so much emphasis on kimono dressing that there are "classrooms" in Japan dedicated to teaching people how to wear them. In 1964, Japan specially established the "Institute of Ritual and Art", which trained a large number of experts in kimono, popularizing kimono dressing, ritual, and cutting, creativity, beauty, and publishing books. In 1966, the All-Day Spirit Thing Revival Association was established to promote November 15 as kimono Day and call on the public to wear kimonos on July 53. [13]

The original Japanese clothing was called" cassock Women's clothing and men's clothing known as "banners". The so-called "full-length dress" is to cut a hole in the cloth, pull it over the head, and then tie the cloth hanging under the arms with a strap, and then match it with a skirt bottoms The practice is rather primitive, but very practical. The so-called "banner" is the uncut cloth wrapped around the body, exposing the right shoulder, like a monk's robes.
Legend Central Japan In the age of God Izanazi God told him to remove his coat, hakama and belt when performing the ritual of elimination (the practice of fasting and bathing for good luck). Thousands of ruins of Japanese life in this period have been found in an area stretching from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south, almost all over Japan. Primitive society The majority of Japanese live a migratory life in groups, mainly Production activity It's hunting and gathering (don't always think of imperial times). Perhaps it was at that time that the Japanese began to process the cold with animal fur or leaves, and walked out of the era of naked. In the late Jomon culture period (Japan Neolithic age 800- 500 BC) and Yayoi In the era of Japanese culture (the era of the use of Yayoi pottery in Japan, equivalent to 300-300 BC), two basic styles of clothing appeared in Japan. One is a pullover Crewneck shirt The shape was similar to today's Round neck knit pullover ; The other is the front on the back, placket The left skirt is used, the tip of the collar is to the waist, and the length of the sleeve is above the knee. With the coat matching hakama, scarf, in the beard ratio. Hakama originally refers to a crotch cloth worn in the lower body covered in the top, but here hakama refers to a leg connection similar to pants. Men have a waist called the dress, the waist is tied around the coat, because the knot appears pleated, so that the clothing has some changes. Most women wear clothes, and unlike men, women's clothes are long to the ground, and the form of today's North Korean women's skirts "kima" is quite similar.
The scarf is usually used as decoration hitch In the two shoulders, the form of hanging is not limited, usually determined by personal preferences. in Productive labor The middle scarf is also often used as a strap to tie up long sleeves, or as an alternative to cloth.
On the occasion of parting, people wave the scarf to show their reluctance to part, which was later popular in the Meiji era to wave handkerchief Saying goodbye serves the same purpose. The Yusubi is a ribbon of fabric larger and longer than a scarf, which is draped around the waist during the first day. Ancient Japanese women are taboo to be peeped by men, so it is used to cover their faces.
According to... Kojiki "," Nihon Shoki ", "Planting Wheel Atlas"," Pick up the relics of ancient words "And other documents recorded that Japanese Jomon culture in the late era and Yayoi The clothing of the cultural era has adopted mulberry cloth, linen and cotton Coarse cloth Rattan cloth, cobb, etc Plant fibre The tape is made of Japanese cloth. Clothing material The appearance is shrouded in the halo of mythology, such as the day vulture god cutting mulberry weaving cloth, the day long white feather God created his own linen for civilian use.
Dyeing was already relatively common at that time, according to the Book of God Emperor Jinghaei When civilians already know to use madder Dyed red, indigo dyed green, 荩草 Stained yellow, acorn Dyed fruit black, purple roots purple. Most of the dyed goods have no lines, and occasionally there are some prints, which are generally used directly leaf It's a floral scrub. The plants used are moon grass, swallow-wort , Hazel, mountain blue, Honeysuckle Let's wait. [13]
Nara period
Japan Ancient times The coarse cloth clothing with narrow sleeves and slants is similar to that worn in ancient China. But, really written down, will Chinese clothing The introduction of Japan, and so that it is absorbed and institutionalized, should be from Nara period Here. In the 8th century, Chinese Tang Dynasty clothing was introduced to Japan, which had an impact on the kimono that originated in Japan. There were also many names for kimonos at that time, such as "casa", "banner" and later "kimono", which were influenced by East Asian clothing. [14] The Nara period in Japan coincided with the flourishing Tang Dynasty in China. Japan sent a large number of scholars and monks to China to study, exchange and absorb. These emissaries brought back to Japan the culture, art and legal system of the Tang Dynasty. The "Order of clothes" was one of the rules made during the Nara era. The "Dress Order" stipulated formal dress, court dress, and uniform - court dress, including crown and hat, according to official rank; Uniform is the clothing of non-official civil servants, press Industry classification . Overall, the color of clothing in the Nara period is relatively simple.
Heian period
Here we are Heian period (After the ninth century), due to the prevalence of national style, Japanese kimono gradually got rid of foreign influences, developed a unique luxury and exquisite characteristics, and its clothes began to diversify in color. sleeve It's also moving in a broader direction. For example, familiarity History of Japan People must have heard of it." Clothing of Tang dynasty "And" Twelve orders ". Tang clothing is a kind of dress (dress), purple, Feifei for expensive, resplendent, beautiful. Twelve single is actually a way of wearing, she is not twelve layers of single clothes, but twelve layers of clothing called 袿 stacked on the single clothes, 袿 light and transparent, multiple layers of 袿 can still faintly see the color of the single clothes or watch, add hazy trance beauty.
The official uniform of the Wu family
Due to excessive corruption and extravagance, the prince's rule finally declined.
Kamakura period, relatively lean, simple Bujia culture Appear, this one Characteristics of The Times It's also reflected in the clothes. In addition, at that time, the Yuan Dynasty unified China and invaded Japan ten times in a row: the Japanese returned to plain clothing in order to facilitate the war, and the wide sleeves changed back to narrow sleeves.
Muromachi period
In the Muromachi era, the family pattern was printed on the clothes (in ancient Japan, every family has a family pattern according to its surname, and the number of family pattern is estimated to be more than 20,000), and the casual dress design began to be dressed. vertical And black hat is a fashionable men's wear, very popular. Women's clothing, on the other hand, is more simplistic.
Oda Nobunaga the Yasuto period , Toyotomi Hideyoshi the Momoyama period (in the middle of the 16th century), people began to pay attention to different places to wear different clothes, so there was a "visit dress" to participate in weddings, tea parties, and participate in various celebrations. Adult festival "Sleeve dress" for banquets and blind dates. In this period, there is a distinct civil character." Noh Lok "Gradually taking shape, the magnificent" Can "costume appeared. At this time, there was no major change in the prince's clothing, which was basically a continuation of the court clothing of the Heian period, and the final integration of the Prince and the Wu family was in Meiji period That's later.
Momoyama period People began to pay attention to different places to wear different clothing, so there was a wedding banquet, tea party to wear the "visit" (from the left shoulder, left sleeve to the skirt into a pattern), as well as to participate in various celebrations, adult day, banquet, blind date to wear "sleeve". [15]
Edo period
The end of the Mukai wedding
It's Japan History of fashion During the most prosperous period, although there were changes in men's wear and women's wear, (such as the small sleeve shape of women's wear became close to modern, while men's wear was popular with feather weaving < black five stripes for formal wear, tea, yellow followed, and knot became popular.) However, the basic pattern has been set, by the Meiji era, the sense of the kimono was finalized, since then has not changed much. Most of the kimonos we see are along Edo period Style of clothing [5] .

Kimono art

Japanese painting originated in Japan, and the history of Japanese painting has been affected Indian Buddhism And the influence of Chinese fine arts, especially during the Tang Dynasty of China, Buddhist art Spread to China and Japan, both in the temple fresco statues and life portraiture There are similarities in both countries.
The paintings that truly reflect the Japanese kimono are mainly Japanese Genre painting . Japanese genre painting emerged in the Shikan period (1392-1573), equivalent to China's Ming Dynasty. At that time, many Chinese genre paintings were introduced into Japan, such as reflecting ancient China Working people birthing Tillage map ", was followed by Japanese painters as a model, so that Japan has also appeared many versions of the "Kogono Nagamoto", such as the Kawano Nagamoto, there are also Wakayama Prefecture Koyasan Manzuku painted screen "Weaving" and so on. But the real rise of Japanese genre painting took place Edo period At that time, although there was a classical painting school specializing in traditional things as a painting subject, such as The Tale of Genji Pure glass stories and so on have appeared in the royal palace and noble screens at that time, this traditional theme is generally expressed by traditional painting techniques. The figures in the painting are wearing the gorgeous clothes of the palace at that time, and the modeling style is similar to that of the office Rugoid . But there were more genre paintings painted on these screens at the same time, which was a feature of the early Edo period (early 16th century), and its painting center was in Kyoto, at that time, after the chaos of the Hirohito civilization, Kyoto's economy was being revived, and the Nine year Garden Festival as a symbol of recovery was held annually in Kyoto, and because of this, a series of screen pictures appeared in large numbers. Such as Caraginoku's "Luozhong Special Map", this map has three versions, stare Taboto , Nishimoto, Uesugi Moto, in addition to Zangyu Tokyo National Museum "Luozhong Custom Picture" screen (first half of 17th century), Shizetado Bunko The theme of these screens is quite similar to the spring excursion pictures of the Tang Dynasty, but the characters are more numerous and the scene is more grand, which highlights the content of kabuki. Like four rivers and six willows. The former is the center of the rise of kabuki, and the latter is the place where female kabuki gather. Be founded in Khanh Chaung Eight years (1603) of Kitano Shoyo Kabuki became popular overnight. At the end of the Keijang period, a permanent stage was set up in Shijokahara for the performance of the six Ryocho touring women, and there were a large number of written records of this custom, and the area became the cultural center of Kyoto. It shows how kimonos were worn at that time [10] .
But kabuki's pomp was frowned upon by the rulers, Kanaga Kabuki was banned by the government in sixteen years, so a large number of indoor amusement pictures were added during the Kanaga years.
To the middle Edo period, corresponding to the genre painting is the Momoyama period Ukiyoe Ukiyo-e is to draw a single beauty from the indoor amusement drawing to depict, this form in Kuan Van The era is particularly popular, so it is called the Kuan Wen beauty picture, among which the "Eight thousand generations of Doctor Map" is a particularly excellent work.
In the mid-17th century, print illustrations appeared in Edo publications, drawn by what were known as underplate painters, mostly unknown painters, among whom stood out Shishinori Hiragawa (1618-1694), Shitsunori worked as an illustrator for the Edo edition of Nishizuru Imihara's Lecherous Generation Men, in which each illustration can be appreciated independently. Shi Xuan is the founder of a painting, he made "See the return of the beauty picture" beauty wearing red small anthocephalus The embroidered kimono with a large flower pattern, the beauty looks back, smiling and beautiful, extremely moving.
In the second year of Meiwa (1765), paintings centered on haiku became popular. Produced with luxurious multi-color printmaking, of which the excellent author is Harunobu Suzuki (1725-1770), its prints are like the beauty of brocade, so it is called brocade painting, and the beauty of its painting is especially the beauty of willow waist, which is popular. The beauty paintings after Harushin are represented by Katsukawa Haruako, Kiyonagi Torii But the most famous ukiyo-e people are several Kitagawa Kugamo (1753-1806) [16] Most of his paintings are half-body paintings or large first paintings, such as "Ten Bodies of Women" and so on. Later, many genre paintings of sericulture or textile production also used this style of ukiyo-e, and the women in the paintings wore kimonos of lower-class working women.
From Japan to modern times, there is also a special school of beauty painting, which mostly paints Japanese women wearing kimonos.
Since the 30th year of Meiji, Japanese painters began to create a new beauty painting method, which can be divided into three schools, one is the modern beauty painting school that emerged from ukiyo-e, to Kanto Dysprosium wood clear square Be represented by; The second is the lady and Upper class The main beauty paintings of the wives, to the four as the generation of the Matsuen works, there are groups of Japanese women wearing kimonos, handsome, rich faces, the kimono-making method described is also very clear crepe still Yuzen Can distinguish; The third is the beauty painting of the combination of the east and the west, to Western painting Style to depict Japanese women wearing kimonos.
The above art works related to kimonos. It not only preserves the colors, fabrics, patterns, styles and accessories of the kimono from different periods in history, but also reflects the way the kimono is worn and the various gestures and gestures of the Japanese who wear it. In addition, these works are actually kimonos in the eyes of the artist, revealing the attitude and feelings of the artist and his contemporaries towards the kimono. [12]

After washing and drying, it must be neatly folded, collected for a period of time and then beaten with a rod a few times before the living can wear it. Therefore, when people wash clothes in daily life, they never dry them in the north, and they do not hang them outside at night.
