背景知识

和服是日本人的传统民族服装，也是日本人最值得向世界夸耀的文化资产之一。和服实际上源自中国汉唐服饰，后经日本历代修改，逐渐形成日本现代的和服式样，但基本上与汉唐服饰并无太大区别。和服的穿着技巧，乃是随着时代的风俗背景，经过琢磨考验，蕴育而生。衣上高雅而优美的图案，源自日本民族对山水的欣赏及对风土的眷恋，乃至於对人本精神与情境的细腻感受。

This is the beginning of a kimono. One of the world’s most precious kimonos, a thousand-year-old fashion statement that all starts here in the mud on a unique tropical island. This is the kimono world’s dirty little secret.

This story starts in Ginza, a neighborhood in Tokyo known for fashion, and home to a famous kimono shop.

In the 1700s, Japan invaded Amami Oshima, and everyone was forced to surrender all of their silk kimonos to Japan’s ruling class. So, legend has it that people of Amami Oshima hid their kimonos in the mud and discovered that they were dyed a beautiful black color.

Some say the heritage behind these kimonos is just as sacred as the kimono itself.
