What are those Japanese dresses called?
1 Answer
Those Japanese dresses are called kimonos. When translated from Japanese, kimono literally means "a thing to wear." Kimonos first emerged during the Heian period, which lasted from 794 to 1185. Lightweight versions of the kimono intended for summer are sometimes called yukatas. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of kimonos and other dresses from some of the world's top boutiques.
