As the name suggests, a kimono is a plain kimono dyed in one color.

It is one of the kimono said that it is better to have one without fail. The reason why it is said so is because the use is very wide.

The reason is that it can be used for both good and bad depending on the color, and the character changes greatly depending on the presence or absence of a crest, an obi and accessories to match.

When you put a crest on a colored kimono, it is generally one of the following: five crests, three crests, or one crest. This will change the crest's rank.

If you put five crests on a kimono, it is a very prestigious formal wear, and if you put five crests on a black colored kimono, it is a so-called mourning dress.

If you put three crests, you can wear it as semi-formal attire with higher rank than the visiting gown. If it has a single crest, it is an abbreviated formal wear with a lower rank than the visiting gi.

Recently, the crest of a kimono with a single crest is becoming more common. In many cases, the crest is not put in, and it is also possible to wear it as an everyday wear if there is no crest.

In addition, depending on the color, it can be used for both good and bad luck. Dark colors are used for bad luck, and light colors for good luck. Colors such as purple, green, indigo, and rat color can be used for both good and bad events and are very versatile.

They are used for children's entrance ceremony, graduation ceremony, Shichigosan, wake, and so on. It is also indispensable as a kimono used at a tea ceremony to avoid showiness.
