right-over-left_kimono


A kimono worn with its right side folded over its left. Traditionally this is how the recently deceased are dressed for burial, consequently it is a major faux pas to wear a kimono this way while alive. Fictional works may sometimes feature ghosts (or other beings connected to death) wearing them. Occasionally the product of artistic error.
