A kimono (着物) is a type of traditional Japanese clothing. It consists of a long, wide-sleeved robe, closed at the front forming a "y" shape. It is held closed with a wide belt-like sash called an obi. The sleeves can be tied back with tasuki.

Kimonos are often worn with other traditional accessories, such as zouri (traditional wooden sandals), tabi (split-toe socks), and kanzashi (traditional hair ornaments). A kinchaku (small cloth drawstring bag) is often carried while wearing a kimono.
