A kimono would be worn by a person from Japan.

A kimono is a traditional Japanese garment and is widely regarded as Japan’s national dress. Its name comes from Japanese words meaning roughly “thing to wear.” The garment has a T-shaped, wraparound design, square sleeves, and a broad sash called an obi. It is traditionally fastened with the left side over the right; the reverse arrangement is reserved for dressing the dead.

Kimono styles vary according to gender, age, season, marital status, and occasion. Formal examples may be worn at weddings, funerals, graduations, and tea ceremonies, while lighter yukata are common at summer festivals. Although Western-style clothing is now everyday wear for most people in Japan, kimono remain important in ceremonies, traditional professions, and cultural celebrations.

A common mix-up is assuming that every Japanese person wears a kimono regularly. Today, it is generally special-occasion clothing rather than daily dress. The garment also has historical influences from Chinese clothing, but the kimono developed into a distinctly Japanese tradition, especially from the Heian period onward.
