A kimono is a Japanese garment made with as much as 12 meters of fabric! People used to wear a kimono every day. In fact, the word means ‘thing to wear.’ Nowadays, people put on a kimono mostly for special occasions. On this one you can see a mountain setting with a lot of little houses. This is probably not a Japanese landscape, but a Swiss or Italian one.
