Iconic Japanese Fashion

Before the 1860s, Japanese clothing consisted entirely of a great variety of kimono. 

They first appeared in the Jomon period, (14,500 B.C. ~ 300 B.C.), with no distinction 

between male and female.

The kimono (きもの) (着物^?) is a Japanese traditional garment. The word kimono, which actually means a "thing to wear" (ki "wear" and mono "thing"), has come to denote these full-length robes.
