[The Taishou Period(30/7/1912-25/12/1926)-Today]

 

The clothes of Western style was familiarized by a wife of a diplomat who had been abroad in Taishou period. While, seeing the cloth of Japanese style, we find that the clothes to wear on visiting someone patterned with its skirt was in fashion. It is said that “Nagoyaobi” was contrived about in 1200.

In Shouwa, when World War ‖ broke out, to say nothing of the clothes of Japanese style, all their daily life was infect with war. And we took the blank years of the kimono. The rule of the clothes which they must wear a natinal clothes and a normal clothes was established, which was the base to take the Western style period.

Though the kosode which ranked with the center of a clothes from Muromachi period became down once under the war for 20 years and the confusion of after the war, still keep living now. But we can't pass off the point that a present-kimono changed, including a variety of elements in the inner side. In other words, kimonos it is not teh kimono for our lif, it came to have the character ramified by the object to wear. For example, there are “Haregi”which means the kimono that are worn in a public place, , and so on.

The kimono is the existence that we sometimes want to touch and wear in our life of the center of Western style, and the object of a Japanese sense of beauty.
