Kimoto

Kimoto, traditional Japanese outfit, could be a canvas for beautiful picture made with colors. This Uchikake, a kind of Kimoto, that is thicker than other types, often functioning as a gown. Many of Uchikake were made for newly wedded wives to wear at the wedding ceremonies. This is one of them, which was displayed in Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, the US. The museum has very fine collection of Japanese arts (picture taken was allowed).
