Description

[Technical field]

[0001] To provide a kimono for women that is easy to put on and that anyone can wear without special knowledge, a method for putting it on, and a method for explaining how to put it on, and more particularly, to a kimono for women that is easy to put on and that is provided with a display section that assists in instructions on how to put it on, and a method for putting it on and a method for explaining how to put it on using the kimono. [Background technology]

[0002] From roughly the Edo period to the present, women's kimonos (nagagi) ​​have been made longer than the length of the garment, and when putting them on, it was necessary to adjust the position of the hem to suit the wearer's height, by creating hem folds, tapering the hem, and adjusting the collar. Putting on a women's kimono was a very complicated process that required skill.

[0003] Furthermore, in order to put on a kimono, not only do you need to use many accessories such as an obi (belt), an obi-jime (sash fastener), a waist string, and a chest string, but you also need to understand the structure of the kimono itself and the special names of each part. For Japanese people of a generation accustomed to Western clothing and foreigners interested in Japanese culture, it takes a lot of time and experience to understand and master how to put on a kimono, even if an expert explains it to them.

[0004] In response to such problems, Patent Document 1 discloses a Japanese-style garment which comprises an upper body portion, an obi portion attached to the lower end of the upper body portion, a lower body portion attached to the lower end of the obi portion, and a pair of sleeves attached to the upper body portion, the upper body portion having an upper front body portion and an upper back body portion and the lower body portion having a lower front body portion and a lower back body portion, the upper front body portion, upper back body portion, lower front body portion and lower back body portion being sewn and fixed to each other on the back side of the obi portion, and which is put on by the wearer from the lower end of the lower body portion. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-59946 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] However, although the Japanese clothing disclosed in Patent Document 1 has an appearance similar to that of Japanese clothing when worn, the upper front body part, upper back body part, lower front body part, and lower back body part are sewn together and fixed on the back side of the obi part, and the method of wearing the clothing is such that the wearer puts on the lower end of the body part, which is significantly different from conventional traditional kimonos, and there is a problem that the wearer does not get the feeling that they are wearing a traditional Japanese kimono.

[0007] The present invention has been made in consideration of the above problems, and its specific objective is to provide a kimono for women that is easy to put on, has an appearance and feel to the wearer that is no different from a traditional kimono, and can be easily put on even by people who have no particular knowledge of kimonos, such as Japanese people of a generation accustomed to Western clothing and foreigners interested in Japanese culture, as well as a method of putting it on and a method of explaining how to put it on. [Means for solving the problem]

[0008] The present invention has been devised to achieve the above object. More specifically, it is a simple kimono for women that can be easily put on even by a wearer who has no knowledge of kimono, and it comprises a kimono body tailored according to the sleeve length and waist size corresponding to the wearer's body type, a waist belt to be worn around the wearer's abdomen, and a pre-tied obi to be worn by hanging on the waist belt, the kimono body is formed by sewing a hem along the length of the kimono body, a waist string is sewn to the collar of both the right and left body of the kimono body, and a waist string is sewn to the lower end of the collar of the right body. The kimono has a plurality of buttons sewn near the lower end of the collar of the left body as anti-slip fasteners, a plurality of buttonholes as fastener receivers arranged near the underarm of the left body and near the bottom of the hem of the right body and capable of engaging the plurality of anti-slip fasteners, and an opening under the armpit of the left sleeve for passing a waist string sewn to the collar of the right body to the outside, and further has an explanatory display section arranged in a required place on the women's easy-to-wear kimono to explain how to wear it.

[0009] The easy-to-wear kimono for women of the present invention differs from conventional kimonos in that the small items needed in addition to the kimono itself and the waistband, such as strings and obi fasteners, are formed integrally with the kimono itself and the waistband, and it is provided with buttons and buttonholes to prevent the kimono from coming undone, which are not found in conventional kimonos, and furthermore, explanatory display sections are provided in necessary places, which has the effect of reducing the difficulty of putting the kimono on.

[0010] The present invention includes a configuration in which the waist belt has a waist belt body of a length that is used by wrapping it once around the wearer's abdomen, a pair of obi fastening parts sewn near both longitudinal ends of the waist belt body, and a plurality of obi fastening holes that are formed near the longitudinal ends of the waist belt body and allow the fastening position, etc. to be adjusted, and has explanatory display parts on the waist belt body or required parts of the obi fastening to explain how to put on the obi.

[0011] Unlike conventional waist belts which are wrapped multiple times around the wearer's abdomen, the tightening strength is adjusted, and then secured with a separately prepared obi-fastener, the waist belt of the present invention has a waist belt body of a length that is wrapped once around the wearer's abdomen, and a pair of obi-fastening parts sewn to the waist belt body, and further has explanatory display parts arranged in necessary places. Therefore, compared to conventional waist belts, it is easier to put on and the tightening strength can be easily adjusted at any time.

[0012] The present invention also includes a configuration in which the pre-tied obi is a decorative knot portion that is hung on the waist belt main body and used, and has a decorative knot main body portion formed by tying the obi, a hanging portion that hangs the decorative knot main body portion on the waist belt main body, a fixing string portion for fixing to the wearer's abdomen, and an auxiliary explanation display portion at a required place on the pre-tied obi for explaining how to wear the obi, and the hanging portion is formed from a metal round bar such as wire.

[0013] Unlike conventional pre-tied obi, which are tied with the ends of the waistband after being wrapped around the wearer's abdomen several times, the pre-tied obi of the present invention has a separately formed main knot portion, a fastening portion that fastens to the main waistband portion, and a fixed string portion for fastening to the wearer's abdomen, and further has explanatory display portions disposed in required locations, which has the effect of overwhelmingly reducing the difficulty of putting on the obi compared to conventional products.

[0014] The method of dressing of the present invention described in claim 4 includes the steps of putting on the kimono body on one's back, putting both hands through both sleeves, and fastening the buttons which are the multiple anti-snap fasteners to the buttonholes which are the multiple fastener receivers; crossing the waist cords sewn to both collar ends at the back body side and tying them at the front body side; adjusting the collar and hem and adjusting the folded edges; wrapping the waist belt body around the abdomen and tying both obi fastener parts at the front body side; and hanging and fixing the pre-tied obi at approximately the center of the width of the back body side of the waist belt body.

[0015] The dressing method of the present invention differs from conventional kimonos in that the necessary accessories other than the kimono body and the waist belt body, such as strings and obi fasteners, are formed integrally with the kimono body and the waist belt body, and buttons and buttonholes to prevent the kimono from coming undone, which are not found in conventional kimonos, are provided. Furthermore, explanatory display sections are provided in necessary places. This reduces the difficulty of the dressing process itself, shortens the dressing process time, and has the effect of providing an appearance and fit that is no different from that of conventional traditional kimonos.

[0016] The dressing instruction method of the present invention as described in claim 5 is implemented by displaying, for each specified step in an object, process information indicating the specified step, a visually represented image or video using the explanation assistance display unit arranged at a required location to explain at least one aspect of the specified step, and explanatory text information or explanatory audio explaining at least one of the aspects represented by the image or video information in association with each other.

[0017] The method of explaining how to wear kimono of the present invention has the effect of being easily understandable even to those with no particular knowledge of kimono, such as Japanese people of a generation accustomed to Western clothing or foreigners interested in Japanese culture, by using visually represented images or videos using an explanatory auxiliary display unit and explanatory text information or explanatory audio that explains at least one of the aspects represented by the image or video information. Effect of the Invention

[0018] The easy-to-wear kimono for women, the method of wearing it, and the method of explaining how to wear it of the present invention have the same appearance and wearing comfort as traditional kimonos, and even wearers who have no particular knowledge of kimonos, such as Japanese people of a generation accustomed to Western clothing and foreigners interested in Japanese culture, can easily understand the method of wearing it and can easily complete the dressing process in a short time.
