The earliest clothes in Japan

The origin of kimono can be traced back to the 3rd century. According to "Biography of Japanese in Wei Zhi", "Use a piece of cloth with a hole in the middle, and the head passes through it, so it is not necessary to cut it." This is the prototype of kimono. In the Daiwa era, the Japanese king sent envoys to China three times, bringing back a large number of Han weavers, Wu weavers and craftsmen who were good at textile and sewing techniques. Most of the immigrants from China who went to Fusang were literati and craftsmen, who introduced China's clothing style to Japan. In Nara era (AD 7 18), the Japanese sent a delegation of envoys from the Tang Dynasty to China, which was received by the King of the Tang Dynasty and given a large number of royal robes. These clothes are dazzling and very popular in Japan. At that time, all Japanese civil and military officials were envious. The next year, the emperor ordered all Japanese to wear clothes that imitated the Sui and Tang Dynasties. /kloc-In the Muromachi era in the 0/4th century, according to Japanese traditional habits and aesthetic tastes, costumes with Sui and Tang characteristics gradually evolved and finally finalized, and there was no big change in the following 600 years. As for wallets, Japanese women were influenced by Christian missionaries wearing robes and belts.
