How is Jushidan different from a traditional kimono?

Twelve singlesThe kimono weighs around kilograms. "Twelve Singles" is a dress worn by women in ancient times when they enter the palace or festivals. It is divided into Tang clothes, single clothes, table clothes, etc., with a total of 12 layers.

From the 8th century to the present day, Japanese court women have been wearing this 12-tiered kimono to participate in various major court ceremonies.

The 12 single clothes are the Heian period of Japan.

The court dress worn by a high-ranking female official above the rank of wife. However, since women in the Heian period rarely had the opportunity to appear in public, the women of the harem wore a jacket or a small jacket on weekdays, and on more formal occasions they wore a dress and a kado robe.

The 12 single clothes are composed of Tang clothes, clothes, tops, beats, jackets (five clothes) and single clothes (of course, small sleeves are also worn inside the single clothes). At the end of the Heian period, the Nara period was preserved with the addition of biri, nepotism, hair knots, and crowns.

The Legacy of the Customs. The Tang Yi is a short coat draped on the outermost part, which can be worn by more than three attendants from the empress onwards.

In terms of color, red, purple, and cyan are forbidden colors.

Only three or more people who have received permission can wear it. In addition, there are many colors of Tang clothes, including red plum, cherry, willow, forest road, wheat dust and so on. These beautiful colors are intertwined and complemented by the tortoise shell embroidered on them.

Patterns such as phoenixes, chrysanthemums, and peonies together form a gorgeous visual effect.

Five-clothes: Wear on the outside of a single coat, with a color matching of the jacket. It was originally made of five layers of clothes of different colors, but later it was simplified to five layers of fabric sewn into the opening of the same garment.

Dressing: A layer worn on the outside of the five clothes with a firm texture. The earliest function was to keep out the cold. It was named after the pattern on the original clothes that were beaten with a wooden anvil.
