| Most of
the Japanese people wear Western style clothes, like jeans and a T-shirt.
But some choose to wear the traditional kimono. A kimono is a floor-length
robe made of silk that has many layers. It is held together by a sash at
the waist that is tied at the back called an obi. Kimonos are very common
in public. A person in jeans could be walking down the street with their
friend in a kimono and it's considered normal. During festivals, kimonos
can be seen everywhere. Festivals are a very special thing in Japanese
culture, so the kimonos are usually elegant and very beautiful. About the
only place kimonos are not worn are at school. Many of the schools have
uniforms, or people wear a suit or jeans.
