This traditional garment, with its rich history and symbolism, has been an integral part of Japan's heritage for centuries.
An important Japanese etiquette for wearing a kimono is the wrapping order. The neckline should be worn left over right. First the right wrap, than the left wrap. Easy to remember by the mnemonic 'left-over rice'. Only when someone has passed away, it changes to right over left.
