Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention is a technology related to a comfortable and easy-to-move kimono dress that can be worn by simply putting it on over the head, making use of the upper body part that is a characteristic of kimonos, without using dressing accessories such as hem sashes. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0002] Traditionally, wearing a kimono required the use of many Japanese accessories, and if one was unable to put it on themselves, they would have to pay a considerable amount of money to have someone else do it for them. This requires knowledge, skill, time, and money to put on a kimono, so in today's world where Western clothing is often worn on a daily basis, the hurdle to wearing a kimono is high. Even for weddings, funerals, and other ceremonies, which are traditional Japanese rituals for the four generations, many people choose Western clothing because of its ease. [Means for solving the problem]

[0003] Compared to Western clothing, problems associated with wearing a kimono include difficulty walking due to the limited range of motion, and the kimono becoming distorted during everyday life, such as raising curious and active young children, general housework (cooking, laundry, etc.), and using the toilet. [Effects of the Invention]

[0004] This reduces the burden of knowledge, skill and time required to put on a kimono, which has traditionally been a problem with kimonos, and allows people to enjoy wearing kimonos as easily and conveniently as they would in everyday life, just like Western clothing. [Prior art documents]

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 2020-97806 (P2020-97806A)

[0006] An example of an attempt to eliminate the aforementioned knowledge and skills required for dressing is the "Kimono" idea disclosed in Patent Document 1.

[0007] However, in the "Kimono" of Patent Document 1, string-like and belt-like parts are attached to simplify the putting on process, but there are many steps and it is still difficult for a beginner to confirm how to put it on by themselves.

[0008] On the other hand, an invention has already been proposed in Patent Document 2, "Kimono," that eliminates the accessories and hem used in dressing.

[0009] In Patent Document 2, "Kimono," three-dimensional cutting technology is used to eliminate the need for folded edges in order to improve the bulkiness of the upper neck portion when putting on a kimono, and by making it structured so that it can be put on with one touch, not only has it become easier for one person to put on a kimono, but the simple structure also allows even beginners to wear a kimono that looks and feels comparable to a conventional kimono.

[0010] [Patent Document 2] Patent Publication No. 2003-183909 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0011] However, the "Kimono" in Patent Document 2 still has the same inconveniences as conventional kimonos when compared to Western clothing, such as difficulty in walking when wearing it and inconvenience in using the restroom, making it unsuitable for everyday wear.

[0012] This invention aims to revive the era when kimonos, traditional Japanese clothing, were worn as everyday wear, and to solve the problems mentioned above, we have endeavored to develop a kimono dress that can be easily worn by anyone in a variety of situations, from everyday wear to formal occasions, in line with modern lifestyles.

[0013] In other words, the present invention is intended to solve the above-mentioned problems and to provide a kimono dress (dress) that can be worn easily, beautifully, and in the truest sense, by anyone without any knowledge or skill of how to put on a kimono; that is painless and uncomfortable when putting on, comfortable and easy to move in, and also time-saving, functional; that can be worn by simply putting it on over the head, without the need for dressing. [Means for solving the problem]

[0014] In order to achieve the objectives of the previous paragraph, this invention takes the upper body of a conventional kimono, and fixes the left and right sides of the body from the top of the body in the same shape as the collar is fitted when dressing, leaving them in a tubular shape, while forming the lower body into a tubular shape like a skirt in Western clothing, and these two are sewn together at the waistline to unite them, so that the upper part maintains the shape of a conventional kimono and the lower part has a skirt shape like a one-piece dress. This means that not only does it not require any knowledge or skill when dressing, it also saves time, and on top of that it is characterized by improving the inconvenience of walking and going to the toilet, making it a kimono one-piece dress that can be easily worn as everyday wear.

[0015] The upper body in the previous paragraph has a lower part that is integrated with the sleeve attachment part and waistline, and by making it tapered and slanted inwards, it becomes a kimono one-piece dress that fits the body better, and by adding a slit to the lower body in the previous paragraph, it becomes easier to move around, which is desirable.

[0016] In the invention described in claim 2, the shape conforms to the body, making the garment look more beautiful when worn.

[0017] In the invention described in claim 3, the provision of slits means that there is no restriction on stride length when wearing the garment, making it possible to not only walk normally but also run.

[0018] In the invention described in claim 4, by inserting a rubber-like stretch material into the waistline area, it is not excessively tight, so there is no pain or discomfort, and you can enjoy wearing the kimono with ease and freedom of movement, just like a Western-style dress or one-piece dress.

[0019] In the invention described in claim 5, by inserting a string-like material into the waistline area and tightening it, the width of the waistline can be freely determined to suit various body types and preferences, increasing fashion options; by tightening the waist string, you can enjoy a silhouette similar to a Western-style one-piece dress, and by loosening the waist string, you can enjoy a kimono with a relaxed silhouette.

[0020] All claims can be applied to uchikake, black montsuki, furisode, black tomesode, colored tomesode, houmongi, tsukesage, iro-muji, komon, tsumugi, yukata, single-layered kimono, lined kimono, thin kimono, nagajuban, raincoats, and sleeveless kimonos. [Brief explanation of the drawings]
