kimono
Kimono is widely known as a Japanese national costume. In general, "kimono" is a garment consisting of a one-piece kimono and a belt that plays the role of a belt, but what kind of transition has it undergone before the current shape of kimono? And what is the current situation surrounding kimono? We asked Hisae Koda of the Tokyo Kimono Research Institute.
What kind of transition did there before 11 kimonos became their current form?
The features of kimono are the front opening, the front alignment, and the shape of tightening the obi. It is thought that this style, which can be seen today, was established about 400 years ago from the end of the Azuchi-Momoyama period to the early Edo period.
From the 4th to the 7th centuries, men wore barrel-sleeved coats, sloppy trousers, and women wore blouse-style coats and skirt-like clothes, as shown in the paintings of haniwa and kofun murals. This dress is very close to the style of the clothes ((1)) in the figure).
During the Nara period( 1603-1868), due to the import of Chinese culture due to the transfer of envoys and envoys to Tang Dynasty China, the shape of clothes was switched to a relaxed front-opening format in the Tang dynasty style. During the Nara period, the tang dynasty-style fashion became popular ((2) in the figure).
In the Heian period at the end of the 8th century, a Japanese way of life was gradually born in accordance with the climate and changes of the four seasons, taking advantage of the Chinese culture that had been transmitted until then. As for clothing, in the latter half of the Heian period, it developed into a unique form of Japan, such as the crown belt (formal dress of aristocratic men) and twelve singles (formal dress of aristocratic women) ((3) in the figure). Such clothes can be seen in the current dolls. And, as the samurai era continued since the Kamakura period, gorgeous and exaggerated clothes have been simplified, and they have become almost the same as modern kimonos ((4) (5) (6) in the figure).
At the end of the year, there are very few opportunities to wear kimono. Since the Meiji Restoration, Japan has been westernized in all aspects, and clothing has not been the exception. The number of people wearing kimono gradually decreased, especially after the war. The reasons are that they are not active, expensive, and difficult to wear compared to clothes.
Most of the new year's or coming-of-age ceremonies, weddings, graduation ceremonies, and other special days you see in the city today. Moreover, the majority of them are women, and in the case of men, it is limited to people involved in traditional performing arts such as rakugo performers and kabuki actors.
There seems to be a new movement recently, too. In recent years, kimono magazines have been newly published, and there have been meetings to walk around the city wearing kimonos. It can be said that the reason for this is that the goodness of the kimono has come to be reviewed. It is not so much that I enjoy it as a hobby rather than wearing it as everyday clothes, but this is a very nice thing for those who love kimono.
Kimono certainly does not fit modern life. However, the number of people who wear national costumes decreases, and once it is destroyed, it will never be revived again in the end. Yukata for the summer festival and kimono of hatsumode may be a chance. I want to make sure that the number of people who wear kimono increases even a little, and the tradition is not interrupted.

The new version of the standard Japanese language textbook is the most widely used set of Japanese language learning textbooks for japanese self-learners in China, which not only takes into account the examination, but also attaches importance to the cultivation of oral conversation ability. It is a good choice for getting started with zero basics in Japanese.

There are 6 volumes of teaching materials (standard day primary upper and lower volumes, standard day intermediate upper and lower volumes, standard day advanced upper and lower volumes)
Textbook typesetting: large folio, horizontal typesetting.
Advantages of teaching materials:
1. The text content is vivid, the situational conversation is adopted, and the practicality is paid attention to. The content of the whole set of textbooks revolves around several protagonists, and the coherence is strong.
2. The content of the textbook is relatively new and easier to understand. Suitable for students who are self-taught Japanese.
Disadvantages of teaching materials:
Verbs in the textbook all appear in the shape of ます, rather than the original verb form, so it causes a certain detour for us to understand the original shape of the verb.
