Kimono Parade!

The kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children.

In Tokyo, kimonos are most often worn by women, and on special occasions, but a few older women and even fewer men still wear the kimono on a daily basis.
Men wear the kimono most often at weddings, festivals, and other very special or very formal occasions.

There is an annual event in November where you can see:
 A lot of kinds of kimonos,

dancers and local food.




If you are in Tokyo you can enjoy the event “Miss Kimono”

and you can buy beautiful kimonos, obis and other traditional clothes.
