Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a two-piece kimono, a Japanese garment that is separated into an upper and lower part. [Background technology]

[0002] While traditional Japanese clothing is usually constructed as a long garment, two-piece kimonos are also used, as they are easy for beginners to wear and are less likely to come undone. These two-piece kimonos consist of an upper part and a separate lower part, with the bottom edge of the upper part overlapping the top edge of the lower part, and an obi sash tied around this overlapping part. [Prior art documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent Publication No. 11-117104 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The above-mentioned conventional techniques have the following problems remaining. If the length is too long or too short for the wearer, it is necessary to adjust the lower waist part by shifting it up or down. However, in order to wear the pants with a nice tapered hem and without them becoming loose, there are problems such as the need to devise ways to adjust the wearer's waist and the strength and manner in which the strings are tightened.

[0005] To provide a two-piece kimono that has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems and that can be quickly and easily worn by even a beginner with a beautiful tapered hem, and that can also be adjusted in length and is less likely to become loose. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] To achieve this purpose, the two-piece kimono of the present invention is (1) to (5). (1) A two-piece kimono consisting of an upper and lower part, the lower end of which is folded over the top of the lower part, and is worn with an obi sash tied to the bottom. The bottom end of this upper part is folded back inward in a wide width, creating an appearance similar to that of a long kimono. (2) A waist belt is attached to the upper edge of the lower part so that the hem of the lower front rises upward to the left and the right side of the upper front rises more gently to the right than the hem of the lower front. (3) Suspenders are attached to the waist belt at symmetrical positions around the center of the back. (4) The wearer aligns the center of the back with the center of the back, and at the desired length, aligns the top edge of the waist belt straight, fastens the hook-and-loop fastener, and fastens the suspenders. (5) Then, put on the upper part, and take the attached string out of the opening, pass it over the back, and tie it in front. [Effects of the Invention]

[0007] When worn as described above according to the present invention, even those who are not accustomed to wearing kimonos can quickly, easily and beautifully put on the kimono, and the kimono is less likely to come undone. [Brief explanation of the drawings]

[Figure 3] A diagram showing the upper edge of the lower part of the two-piece kimono of this embodiment and the state of attachment of the waist belt. [Figure 4] FIG. 1 shows the state in which suspenders are attached to the upper edge of the lower part of the two-piece kimono of this embodiment. [Figure 5] 1 is a diagram illustrating how to wear the two-piece kimono of this embodiment. [Figure 6] FIG. 1 shows the state in which the two-piece kimono of this embodiment is worn. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Hereinafter, an embodiment of the invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

[0009] FIG. 1 shows the two-piece kimono of this embodiment.

[0010] FIG. 2 shows the underside 1 of the upper part of the two-piece kimono of this embodiment, with the bottom edge 2 being wide and with a string 3 attached to the end.

[0011] Figure 3 shows that a wide waist belt 5 is attached to the top edge of the lower part 4 of the two-piece kimono of this example, with a hook-and-loop fastener 6 at the end. The waist belt is also shorter on the left side of the lower front part and gradually shorter on the right side of the upper front part, so that the hemline tapers when the top edges are brought together when wearing the kimono.

[0012] FIG. 4 shows that suspenders 7 are attached symmetrically 89 around the center of the back to the wide waist belt 5 on the upper edge of the lower part 4 of the two-piece kimono.

[0013] Figure 5 illustrates how to wear the two-piece kimono of this example. First, align the center of the back of the lower part 4 with the center of your back and wrap it around your waist like a skirt 10. Next, when the hem is slightly above the floor and at the desired length, align the top edge of the hook-and-loop fastener 6 on the waist belt 5 and fasten it 11. Since suspenders will be used after that, there is no need to tighten it tightly. Fasten the suspenders to maintain that length 12. After putting on the lower part, align the center of the back of the upper part with the center of your back and put it on 13. Bring the string 3 attached to the end hem out through the underarm opening, pass it around your back, and fasten it in front 14.
