First appearing in the 13th century, the word "kimono" means "the thing one wears on oneself." More than just a simple garment, the kimono, made from a minimum of pieces cut from a single piece of fabric, is considered by the Japanese as a jewel of their heritage. At first glance immutable, frozen in the eternity of traditions, it is in reality constantly evolving.
