When Japanese women wear kimonos, they always wrap something that looks like a small pillow on their backs. Many people don't understand what this thing does. Wouldn't it be a little cumbersome to put it on your back? Why are you carrying something like this?

First of all, I tell you that this thing looks like a small pillow, but it is not a small pillow. This is a belt knot. If you tie a knot with it, you can keep the kimono loose and show a beautiful figure. At the same time, it is also to play a decorative role and make the gorgeous kimono more colorful.

As we all know, kimono actually originated in the Tang Dynasty. Seeing the clothing styles of the Tang Dynasty and western missionaries, Japanese envoys bought several pieces and brought them back to Japan, then copied kimonos. Later, Japanese women tied their belts behind their backs in order to stand out.

You know, there are more than 300 kinds of Japanese kimono belts, among which bows are the most widely used. Kimono is also very particular, but there is also a problem, that is, for Japanese women who wear kimono, because they have to wrap their belts around their bodies for several layers, they lose their original measurements.

Everyone has a love of beauty. At that time, Japanese women tied these belts around their waists and changed this knot to the back for beauty. Therefore, the small pillow behind the waist of different Japanese women is the belt knot that they become because of the long belt.

Now, kimono is still the Japanese favorite. On some important occasions, such as festivals, graduation and weddings, some Japanese women wearing traditional kimonos can be seen everywhere, and they look quite good personally.
