Abstract
Description
[Technical field]
[0001] This invention relates to kimonos. [Background technology]
[0002] Generally speaking, wearing a traditional kimono requires skilled techniques, and it is not easy for people who do not have the opportunity to wear kimonos on a regular basis. Anyone can wear a kimono if they have someone with the skills help them put it on. However, if your kimono gets torn apart while you're out, it is not easy for people who do not have the opportunity to wear kimonos on a regular basis to fix it themselves. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0003] Therefore, kimonos that anyone can easily put on have been proposed. However, in the past, even if each step of putting on such a kimono is simple, many kimonos require a certain amount of time and dexterity to perform all the steps correctly. Therefore, for example, it is difficult for children who have difficulty sitting still for long periods of time or children with disabilities to put on a kimono easily. Therefore, there is a demand for a kimono that can be easily put on with fewer steps. [Means for solving the problem]
[0004] A kimono according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a one-piece torso and sleeves sewn to both sides of the torso. The torso has an upper front, a lower front, a left back and a right back, a left collar and a right collar, and a connecting part that can be opened and closed. Each of the upper front, the lower front, the left back and the right back is made of a single piece of fabric with a length corresponding to at least the length from below the knee to the shoulder of the person wearing the kimono. The overlapping parts of the upper front and the lower front are sewn together. The upper front and the left back are sewn together at the left side of the torso. The lower front and the right back are sewn together at the right side of the torso. The right end of the upper front and the top end of the left back are sewn together to the left collar. The left end of the lower front and the top end of the right back are sewn together to the right collar. The left collar and left back body are connected to the right collar and right back body by a connecting part so that they can be opened and closed. Effect of the Invention
[0005] In the kimono according to one embodiment of the present invention, the left collar and left back body and the right collar and right back body are connected by a connecting part so that they can be opened and closed in a one-piece torso section. This allows the wearer to, for example, open the connecting part to form a large opening in the one-piece torso section that stretches from the back body to the collar, then put their feet through this opening, lift the one-piece torso section so that it fits their body, and finally close the connecting part to put on the kimono. This allows the wearer to put on the kimono easily with just a few steps. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0007] Hereinafter, the embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings. The following description is one specific example of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the arrangement, dimensions, and dimensional ratios of each component shown in each drawing.
[0008] <1. First embodiment> [structure] First, the structure of a kimono 1 according to a first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the kimono 1 according to this embodiment comprises a one-piece kimono body 10 and a haori 20. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the one-piece kimono body 10 comprises a one-piece torso section 11 and sleeves (left sleeve section 12L, right sleeve section 12R) sewn to both sides of the torso section 11. The torso section 11 has an upper front section 111, a lower front section 112, a left back body section 113, a right back body section 114, a collar 115, a half collar 116, and a connecting section 117 (first connecting section). The collar 115 is composed of a left collar 115L and a right collar 115R, which are divided into left and right sections.
[0009] Each of the upper front 111, lower front 112, left back body 113 and right back body 114 is composed of a single piece of fabric with a length that corresponds to at least the length from below the knee to the shoulder of the person wearing the kimono 1. The overlapping parts of the upper front 111 and lower front 112 are sewn together. The upper front 111 and left back body 113 are sewn together at the left side of the torso part 11. The lower front 112 and right back body 114 are sewn together at the right side of the torso part 11. The right end of the upper front 111 and the top end of the left back body 113 are sewn together to the left collar 115L. The left end of the lower front 112 and the top end of the right back body 114 are sewn together to the right collar 115R.
[0010] Left collar 115L and left back body 113 and right collar 115R and right back body 114 are connected openably and closably by connecting part 117. End E1 (first end) from left collar 115L to a predetermined location on left back body 113 away from the hem at the right end of left collar 115L and left back body 113, and end E2 (second end) from right collar 115R to a predetermined location on right back body 114 away from the hem at the left end of right collar 115R and right back body 114 are connected openably and closably by connecting part 117. End E3 (third end) of left back body 113 including at least the hem and end E4 (fourth end) of right back body 114 including at least the hem are sewn together. In Fig. 4, the location where end E1 and end E2 are sewn together is indicated by stitching 118. Connection 117 is a line fastener that can be pulled toward collar 115, for example a Conceal (registered trademark) fastener. The end of the line fastener near the hem is provided in a place that is hidden by haori 20 when haori 20 is worn.
[0011] In this way, the torso portion 11 is sewn together using a plurality of pieces of the above-mentioned single piece of fabric, and therefore differs from a garment in which an upper body portion and a lower body portion are sewn together at the waist, or from a two-piece garment in which an upper body portion and a lower body portion are provided separately from each other.
[0012] [How to wear] Next, how to wear kimono 1 will be described. First, by pulling open connecting portion 117 toward the hem, a large opening is formed in one-piece torso portion 10 from the back to collar 115. Next, with the feet placed through this opening, one lifts one-piece torso portion 10 to fit the body, puts the arms through the sleeves, and finally pulls connecting portion 117 toward collar 115 to close it. In this way, kimono 1 can be worn simply by opening and closing connecting portion 117, or by placing the feet through the opening in one-piece torso portion 10 and lifting one-piece torso portion 10 to fit the body.
[0013] [effect] Next, the effects of kimono 1 will be explained.
[0014] In the kimono 1, in the one-piece torso portion 10, the left collar 115L and left back body 113 and the right collar 115R and right back body 114 are connected openably and closably by a connecting part 117. Specifically, the end E1 (first end) of the left collar 115L and left back body 113 and the end E2 (second end) at the left end of the right collar 115R and right back body 114 are connected openably and closably by the connecting part 117. Furthermore, the end E3 (third end) of the left back body 113 and the end E4 (fourth end) of the right back body 114 are sewn together. As a result, for example, by opening the connecting parts 117, a large opening is formed in the one-piece torso portion 10 from the back to the collar 115, and then, with the legs placed through this opening, the one-piece torso portion 10 can be lifted up along the body, arms put through the sleeves, and finally the connecting parts 117 can be closed, allowing the wearer to put on the kimono 1. Therefore, the kimono 1 can be put on easily with just a few steps.
[0015] In the kimono 1, the connecting part 117 is a line fastener that can be pulled toward the collar 115, and the end of the line fastener near the hem is provided in a place that is hidden by the hakama 20 when the kimono is worn. This makes it difficult for others to notice the presence of the line fastener, so that it appears to others as if the wearer is wearing a traditional kimono.
[0016] <2. Modification of the First Embodiment> Next, modified examples of the kimono 1 according to the first embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0017] [Variation 2-1] In the kimono 1, the connecting portion 117 may be a hook-and-loop fastener (for example, Velcro (registered trademark)). Even in this case, the kimono 1 can be easily put on with a few steps.
[0018] [Variation 2-2] In kimono 1, for example, as shown in FIG. 5, the entire right end of left collar 115L and left back body 113 and the entire left end of right collar 115R and right back body 114 may be connected by connector 117 so as to be openable and closable. In such a case, for example, connector 117 is pulled open toward the hem to divide the back body of one-piece torso portion 10 into two. With the back body of one-piece torso portion 10 divided into two, the wearer can put their arms through the sleeves, place one-piece torso portion 10 against the body, and then pull connector 117 toward collar 115 to close the back body. Therefore, kimono 1 can be easily put on with a few steps.
[0019] [Variation 2-3] In kimono 1, connecting portion 117 may be composed of connecting portion 117A and connecting portion 117B, for example, as shown in FIG. 6. End portion E1 of left back body portion 113 and end portion E2 of right back body portion 114 are connected by connecting portion 117A so as to be able to be opened and closed. Connecting portion 117A is a line fastener that can be pulled toward collar 115 and is, for example, a Conceal (registered trademark) fastener. Left collar 115L and right collar 115R are connected by connecting portion 117B so as to be able to be opened and closed. Connecting portion 117B is a hook and loop fastener and is, for example, a Velcro (registered trademark) fastener.
[0020] In this modification, first, connecting portion 117B is opened and connecting portion 117A is pulled open toward the hem, forming a large opening in one-piece torso portion 10 from the back to collar 115. Next, with the feet placed through this opening, one-piece torso portion 10 is lifted up to fit the body, arms are put through the sleeves, and finally connecting portion 117 is pulled closed toward collar 115. In this way, kimono 1 can be put on simply by opening and closing connecting portion 117, putting the feet through the opening in one-piece torso portion 10, and lifting one-piece torso portion 10 up to fit the body. Therefore, kimono 1 can be put on easily with just a few steps.
[0021] <3. Second embodiment> Next, a kimono 2 according to a second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. As shown in Figures 7 and 8, the kimono 2 according to this embodiment comprises a one-piece torso portion 11 and an obi 30 sewn to the torso portion 11. The one-piece torso portion 11 has the same structure as the one-piece torso portion 11 of the kimono 1 according to the first embodiment.
[0022] The band 30, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, for example, has a band body 31 having an end E5 (fifth end) and an end E6 (sixth end) in the vicinity of the connecting portion 117, a ribbon 32 sewn to the band body 31, and connecting portions 33A and 33B (second connecting portions). The connecting portion 33A is sewn to the end E5. The connecting portion 33B is sewn to the end E6. In the band body 31, the end E5 and the end E6 are connected by the connecting portions 33A and 33B so as to be openable and closable. The connecting portions 33A and 33B are buttons (e.g., snap buttons) as shown in Fig. 9. The connecting portion 33A is, for example, a convex button, and the connecting portion 33B is, for example, a concave button. The connecting portions 33A and 33B may be at least one of a button (for example, a snap button), a hook and loop fastener (for example, a Velcro® fastener), a wire fastener (for example, a Conceal® fastener), and a hook.
[0023] Ends E5 and E6 are configured so that when connecting portions 33A, 33B are closed, at least one of end E5 and end E6 can cover a portion of connecting portion 117, and further, when connecting portions 33A, 33B are opened, the portions of end E5 and end E6 that cover a portion of connecting portion 117 when connecting portions 33A, 33B are closed can be moved to a position away from connecting portion 117.
[0024] 9, end E5 and end E6 are structured such that when connecting parts 33A, 33B are closed, end E5 can cover a part of connecting part 117 (the lower end of the line fastener), and further, when connecting parts 33A, 33B are opened (i.e., when band body 31 is disassembled), end E5 can be moved to a position away from connecting part 117. For example, as shown in FIG. 9, end E5 is not sewn to left back body 113, while end E6 is sewn to right back body 114. Therefore, by folding back the base of end E5 (the part of the band body 31 closest to end E5), end E5 is displaced to a position away from connecting portion 117, and by extending straight out the base of end E5 (the part of the band body 31 closest to end E5), end E5 is displaced to a position close to connecting portion 117 and where connecting portions 33A and 33B overlap each other.
[0025] [How to wear] Next, how to wear the kimono 2 will be described. First, the connecting parts 33A and 33B are opened to separate the end E5 of the obi body 31 from the end E6 of the obi body 31. Furthermore, the connecting part 117 is pulled open toward the hem to form a large opening from the back to the collar 115 in the one-piece torso part 10. Next, with the legs passing through this opening, the one-piece torso part 10 is lifted up to fit the body, arms are put through the sleeves, and the connecting parts 117 are closed. Finally, the connecting parts 33A and 33B are closed. In this way, the kimono 2 can be worn simply by opening and closing the connecting parts 33A and 33B and the connecting parts 117, or by passing the legs through the opening of the one-piece torso part 10 and putting the arms through the sleeves while lifting the one-piece torso part 10 up to fit the body.
[0026] [effect] Next, the effects of Kimono 2 will be explained.
[0027] In the kimono 2, the left collar 115L and left back body 113, and the right collar 115R and right back body 114 are connected by a connecting part 117 so as to be openable and closable. The kimono 2 further includes an obi 30 having ends E5 and E6, which are connected by connecting parts 33A and 33B so as to be openable and closable. For example, by opening the connecting parts 33A and 33B and the connecting part 117, a large opening is formed in the one-piece torso part 10 from the back body to the collar 115, and then the one-piece torso part 10 is lifted up along the body with the feet placed through the opening, and finally the connecting parts 117 and the connecting parts 33A and 33B are closed, so that the kimono 2 can be put on. Therefore, the kimono 2 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0028] In the kimono 2, the end portion E5 and the end portion E6 are structured so that when the connecting portions 33A and 33B are closed, at least one of the end portion E5 and the end portion E6 can cover a part of the connecting portion 117, and when the connecting portions 33A and 33B are opened, the part of the end portion E5 and the end portion E6 that covers a part of the connecting portion 117 when the connecting portions 33A and 33B are closed can be moved to a position away from the connecting portion 117. As a result, for example, by opening the connecting portions 33A and 33B and the connecting portion 117, a large opening is formed in the one-piece torso portion 10 from the back to the collar 115, and then the one-piece torso portion 10 is lifted up along the body with the legs placed through the opening, and finally the connecting portions 117 and the connecting portions 33A and 33B are closed, so that the kimono 2 can be put on. Therefore, the kimono 2 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0029] In kimono 2, connecting portion 117 is a line fastener that can be pulled toward collar 115, and the end of the line fastener near the hem is located in a place hidden by at least one of ends E5 and E6. This makes it difficult for others to notice the existence of the line fastener, so that it appears to others as if the wearer is wearing a traditional kimono.
[0030] <4. Modification of the Second Embodiment> Next, a modified example of the kimono 2 according to the second embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0031] [Variation 4-1] In the kimono 2, the connecting portion 117 may be a hook-and-loop fastener (for example, Velcro (registered trademark)). Even in this case, the kimono 2 can be easily put on with a few steps.
[0032] [Variation 4-2] In the kimono 2, for example, as shown in FIG. 10, the left collar 115L and the entire right end of the left back body 113 and the entire left end of the right collar 115R and the right back body 114 may be connected by a connecting part 117 so as to be openable and closable. In such a case, for example, the connecting part 117 is pulled open toward the hem to divide the back body of the one-piece torso part 10 into two. With the back body of the one-piece torso part 10 divided into two, the kimono 2 can be put on by putting the arms through the sleeves, and pulling the connecting part 117 toward the collar 115 while holding the one-piece torso part 10 against the body. Therefore, the kimono 2 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0033] [Variation 4-3] In the kimono 2, the connecting part 117 may be composed of connecting part 117A and connecting part 117B, for example, as shown in FIG. 11. End part E1 of the left back body part 113 and end part E2 of the right back body part 114 are connected by connecting part 117A so that the collar can be opened and closed. Connecting part 117A is a line fastener that can be pulled toward the collar 115, for example a Conceal (registered trademark) fastener. Left collar 115L and right collar 115R are connected by connecting part 117B so that the collar can be opened and closed. Connecting part 117B is a hook and loop fastener, for example a Velcro (registered trademark).
[0034] In this modification, first, the connecting portion 117B is opened and the connecting portion 117A is pulled open toward the hem, forming a large opening from the back of the one-piece to the collar 115 in the one-piece torso portion 10. Next, with the feet placed through this opening, the one-piece torso portion 10 is lifted up to fit the body, the arms are put through the sleeves, the connecting portion 117 is pulled closed toward the collar 115, and the connecting portion 117B is closed. In this way, the kimono 2 can be put on simply by opening and closing the connecting portion 117, putting the feet through the opening of the one-piece torso portion 10, and lifting the one-piece torso portion 10 up to fit the body. Therefore, the kimono 2 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0035] <5. Third embodiment> Next, a kimono 3 according to a third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described. The kimono 3 according to this embodiment includes a one-piece kimono body 40 and hakama 50, as shown in Figs. 12 and 13. The one-piece kimono body 40 includes a one-piece torso section 41 and sleeves (left sleeve section 42L, right sleeve section 42R) sewn to both sides of the torso section 41, as shown in Figs. 14 and 15. The torso section 41 includes an upper front section 411, a lower front section 412, a left back body section 413, a right back body section 414, a collar 415, a half collar 416, and a connecting section 417 (first connecting section). The collar 415 is divided into a left collar 415L and a right collar 415R.
[0036] Each of the upper front 411, lower front 412, left back body 413 and right back body 414 is composed of a single piece of fabric with a length corresponding to at least the length from below the knee to the shoulder of the person wearing the kimono 3. The overlapping parts of the upper front 411 and lower front 412 are sewn together. The upper front 411 and left back body 413 are sewn together at the left side of the torso part 41. The lower front 412 and right back body 414 are sewn together at the right side of the torso part 41. The right end of the upper front 411 and the top end of the left back body 413 are sewn together to the left collar 415L. The left end of the lower front 412 and the top end of the right back body 414 are sewn together to the right collar 415R.
[0037] The left collar 415L and left back body 413 and the right collar 415R and right back body 414 are connected openably and closably by a connecting part 417. An end E1 (first end) from the left collar 415L to a predetermined location of the left back body 413 away from the hem at the right end of the left collar 415L and left back body 413, and an end E2 (second end) from the right collar 415R to a predetermined location of the right back body 414 away from the hem at the left end of the right collar 415R and right back body 414 are connected openably and closably by a connecting part 417. An end E3 (third end) of the left back body 413 including at least the hem and an end E4 (fourth end) of the right back body 414 including at least the hem are sewn together. In Fig. 15, the location where end E3 and end E4 are sewn together is indicated by sewn portion 418. Connection portion 417 is a line fastener that can be pulled toward the collar, such as a Conceal (registered trademark) fastener. The end of the line fastener near the hem is provided in a location hidden by hakama 50 (rear hakama 52 described below).
[0038] 13 and 15, the torso portion 41 further has a string hole 419 through which a waist adjustment string 53, which will be described later, passes. The string hole 419 is sewn to the back body of the torso portion 41. When two string holes 419 are provided, one string hole 419 is sewn to the left back body 413, and the other string hole 419 is sewn to the right back body 414.
[0039] As can be seen from the above, the torso portion 41 is made by sewing together a plurality of pieces of the above-mentioned single piece of fabric, and therefore differs from a garment in which an upper body portion and a lower body portion are sewn together at the waist, or from a two-piece garment in which the upper body portion and the lower body portion are provided separately from each other.
[0040] As shown in Figs. 12 and 13, the hakama 50 has a front hakama 51, a back hakama 52, and a waist adjustment string 53. The front hakama 51 is sewn to at least the upper front 411 and the lower front 412 among the upper front 411, the lower front 412, the left back body 413, and the right back body 414. The front hakama 51 and the back hakama 52 are sewn to each other. The waist adjustment string 53 is sewn to the upper end of the front hakama 51. A decorative string 51A is sewn to the front hakama 51 near the waist adjustment string 53. The waist adjustment string 53 is passed through a string guide 419 when the kimono 3 is worn.
[0041] 16, the waist adjustment string 53 has an end E7 (seventh end) sewn to a portion of the back skirt 52 (the waist plate 52A of the back skirt 52) close to the connecting portion 417, an end E8 (eighth end) of the waist adjustment string 53 opposite to the end E7, and connecting portions 54A, 54B (third connecting portion) capable of connecting the end E7 and the end E8 in an openable and closable manner. The connecting portions 54A, 54B serve as an adjustment tool that allows the length of the waist adjustment string 53 to be adjusted by adjusting the connecting portion between the connecting portion 54A and the connecting portion 54B. The connecting portions 54A, 54B are buttons (for example, snap buttons). The connecting portion 54A is, for example, a convex button, and the connecting portion 54B is, for example, a concave button. The connecting portion 33A is, for example, a convex button, and the connecting portion 33B is, for example, a concave button. The connecting portions 54A and 54B may be at least one of a button (eg, a snap button), a hook and loop fastener (eg, a Velcro® fastener), a wire fastener (eg, a Conceal® fastener), and a hook.
[0042] Ends E7 and E8 are configured so that when connecting portions 54A, 54B are closed, a portion of connecting portion 417 can be covered by rear skirt 52, and further, when connecting portions 54A, 54B are opened, the portion of rear skirt 52 that covers a portion of connecting portion 417 when connecting portions 54A, 54B are closed can be moved to a position away from connecting portion 417.
[0043] 16, for example, end E7 and end E8 are structured so that when connecting parts 54A, 54B are closed, a part of connecting part 417 (the lower end of the line fastener) can be covered by waist plate 52A of rear skirt 52, and further, when connecting parts 54A, 54B are opened, waist plate 52A of rear skirt 52 can be moved to a position away from connecting part 417. End E7 (waist plate 52A of rear skirt 52) and end E8 are not sewn to the back body of torso part 41, for example, as shown in FIG. Therefore, by folding back the base of end E7 (the portion of rear skirt 52 closest to waist board 52A), end E7 is displaced to a position away from connecting portion 417, and by extending straight out the base of end E7 (the portion of rear skirt 52 closest to waist board 52A), end E7 is displaced to a position close to connecting portion 417 and at a position where end E7 and end E8 can be overlapped with each other.
[0044] Waist adjustment string 53 may further have connecting parts 55A, 55B, for example, as shown in FIG. 16. Connecting part 55A is sewn to waist plate 52A of back skirt 52, and connecting part 55B is sewn to the back body part (right back body part 414 or left back body part 413) of torso part 41. Connecting parts 55A, 55B are buttons (for example, snap buttons). Connecting part 55A is, for example, a convex button, and connecting part 55B is, for example, a concave button. Connecting parts 55A, 55B may be at least one of buttons (for example, snap buttons), hook-and-loop fasteners (for example, Velcro (registered trademark)), wire fasteners (for example, Conceal (registered trademark) fasteners), and hooks. The waist plate 52A of the rear hakama 52 and the back panel of the torso portion 41 are structured so that when connecting portions 55A, 55B are closed, a portion of connecting portion 417 (the lower end of the line fastener) can be covered by the waist plate 52A of the rear hakama 52, and further, when connecting portions 54A, 54B are opened together with connecting portions 54A, 54B, the waist plate 52A of the rear hakama 52 can be structured so that it can be moved to a position away from connecting portion 417.
[0045] [How to wear] Next, how to put on the kimono 3 will be explained. First, the waist plate 52A of the rear hakama 52 is separated from the end E8 of the waist adjustment string 53 by opening the connecting parts 54A, 54B and the connecting parts 55A, 55B. Furthermore, a large opening is formed in the one-piece torso part 40 from the back body to the collar by pulling the connecting part 417 open toward the hem. Next, with the legs passing through this opening, the one-piece torso part 40 is lifted up so as to fit the body, the arms are put through the sleeves, and finally the connecting part 417 is pulled down toward the collar to close it. In this way, the kimono 3 can be put on by simply opening and closing the connecting parts 54A, 54B, 55A, 55B, 417, or by passing the legs through the opening of the one-piece torso part 40 and lifting the one-piece torso part 40 up so as to fit the body.
[0046] [effect] Next, the effects of kimono 3 will be explained.
[0047] In the kimono 3, the left collar 415L and the left back body 413, and the right collar 415R and the right back body 414 are connected by the connecting part 417 so as to be able to be opened and closed. The kimono 3 further includes a pair of hakama 50 having ends E7 and E8, which are connected by the connecting parts 54A and 54B so as to be able to be opened and closed. This allows the wearer to, for example, open the connecting parts 54A and 54B and the connecting part 417 to form a large opening in the one-piece torso part 40 from the back body to the collar, and then, with the wearer's feet passing through this opening, lift the one-piece torso part 40 along the body, put on the sleeves, and finally close the connecting parts 417 and the connecting parts 54A and 54B to put on the kimono 3. This allows the wearer to easily put on the kimono 3 with a few steps.
[0048] In the kimono 3, the end E7 and the end E8 are structured so that when the connecting parts 54A and 54B are closed, a part of the connecting part 417 can be covered by the rear hakama 52, and when the connecting parts 33A and 33B are opened, the part of the rear hakama 52 that covers a part of the connecting part 417 when the connecting parts 54A and 54B are closed can be moved to a position away from the connecting part 417. As a result, for example, by opening the connecting parts 54A and 54B and the connecting parts 417, a large opening is formed in the one-piece torso part 40 from the back to the collar, and then, with the legs passing through this opening, the one-piece torso part 40 can be lifted up along the body, put on the sleeves, and finally close the connecting parts 417 and the connecting parts 54A and 54B, and the kimono 3 can be put on. Therefore, the kimono 3 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0049] In kimono 3, connecting part 417 is a line fastener that can be pulled toward collar 415, and the end of the line fastener near the hem is located in a place hidden by rear hakama 52. This makes it difficult for others to notice the existence of the line fastener, so that it appears to others as if the person is wearing a traditional kimono.
[0050] 6. Modification of the Third Embodiment Next, a modified example of the kimono 3 according to the third embodiment of the present disclosure will be described.
[0051] [Variation 6-1] In the kimono 3, the connecting portion 417 may be a hook-and-loop fastener (for example, Velcro (registered trademark)). Even in this case, the kimono 3 can be easily put on with a few steps.
[0052] [Variation 6-2] In the kimono 3, for example, as shown in FIG. 17, the left collar 415L and the entire right end of the left back body 413 and the entire left end of the right collar 415R and the right back body 414 may be connected by a connecting part 417 so as to be openable and closable. In such a case, for example, the connecting part 417 is pulled open toward the hem to divide the back body of the one-piece torso part 40 into two. With the back body of the one-piece torso part 40 divided into two, the kimono 3 can be put on by putting the arms through the sleeves, placing the one-piece torso part 40 along the body, and pulling the connecting part 417 closed toward the collar 415. Therefore, the kimono 3 can be put on easily with a few steps.
[0053] [Variation 6-3] In the kimono 3, the connecting part 417 may be composed of connecting part 417A and connecting part 417B, for example, as shown in FIG. 18. End E1 of the left back body part 413 and end E2 of the right back body part 414 are connected by connecting part 417A so as to be able to be opened and closed. Connecting part 417A is a line fastener that can be pulled toward the collar 415, for example a Conceal (registered trademark) fastener. The left collar 415L and the right collar 415R are connected by connecting part 417B so as to be able to be opened and closed. Connecting part 417B is a hook and loop fastener, for example a Velcro (registered trademark).
[0054] In this modification, first, the connecting portion 417B is opened and the connecting portion 417A is pulled open toward the hem, forming a large opening from the back to the collar 415 in the one-piece torso portion 40. Next, with the legs placed through this opening, the one-piece torso portion 40 is lifted up to fit the body, the arms are put through the sleeves, the connecting portion 417 is pulled closed toward the collar 415, and the connecting portion 417B is closed. In this way, the kimono 3 can be put on simply by opening and closing the connecting portion 417, putting the legs through the opening of the one-piece torso portion 40, and lifting the one-piece torso portion 40 up to fit the body. Therefore, the kimono 3 can be put on easily with a few steps. [Explanation of symbols]
