We can easily find Japanese women, who are generally relatively short, which is one of their great disadvantages. And we also know that in Japan, their seats are kneeling on the ground, and they don't have stools like we do in China. But their sitting posture will cause some physical defects, for example, they will be bowlegged. In this way, the importance of kimono is reflected. Kimonos are generally wide, which can well cover their legs and show their perfect side.
moreover, kimono can not only cover up these shortcomings, but also highlight their advantages, which is equivalent to adding a filter to them, for example, making them look taller and thinner. But as we all know, wide clothes can make people look fat and short. And kimono is a relatively wide dress, so they want to make their feminine beauty more prominent according to the design concept of clothes, and they need belts to complete this great task. However, belts are not added at will. Too wide or too thin belts will make people look very strange. Too thin a belt will make people look very bloated and embarrassed.
A bow tied with a belt that is too wide will look very big and abrupt. It is also very ugly to hit the front, so they came up with the shape of a small pillow by hitting the bow at the back, which effectively solved the shortcomings of the thick belt. In Japan, this little pillow is not really called a little pillow, but has a nice name called Jinjie.
In fact, there are still many defects in the design of this kimono. For example, the designed kimono is thick, so it will be very hot for women to wear it in summer. Moreover, the designed kimono is also very conservative and airtight, which will make women's skin feel suffocated. Another reason is that when designing kimono, I didn't consider whether women would be comfortable in this dress. Generally, kimonos tie their belts very tightly, and if women's waists are tight, it will make it difficult for them to breathe and walk.
