I really like those thick soled okobo/pokkuri geta a lot.

But are they really exclusively associated with geisha in Japan like wikipedia seems to imply? I'm sure I saw a lot of regular characters wear them, and it sure would paint them in new light.

They were great for their time and it's hard to beat for being quiet, but soft leather shoes like those were used for thousands of years literally all over the world. Only reason we associate then with Native Americans is they were still using them until pretty recently.

Not great protection for your feet though, and little ankle support. Also lets in mud and water very easily.

Well, okobo are usually worn by maiko, apprentice geishas. But you can wear them with very beautiful clothes to complete it even if you aren't a geisha.

You'll usually see more getas and zoris.

The so-called "China dress" is a bastardization hybrid of Manchu Qing dress with European dress. True Chinese dress is the source of the Kimono.

Patterns and embroidery were mostly for status. The poor would have still had very simple clothes. You could also look into the dress of poor and more chaotic times when patterned clothing was considered too much of a luxury even for nobility.

Yukata : Summer kimono, light, one layer.
You usually don't wear anything under, and just normal sandals.

Kimono are usually everyday clothing, multiple layers of different fabrics. Usually worn with other accessories and tabis.

(both clothes and model)

You can wear normal kimono in matsuri too, but they're heavier and warmer, so it's less common.

>>110335137
Kimono would be what rich girls would wear at home?

>>110335775
I'd say rich girls and traditional family.
It's still clothes from the past, most of the time it's used for festivals, and special events like graduation and such.

I don't think a lot of young girls wear them everyday, it's probably a question of tradition in the family.
Mature womens seems to wear them a lot.

>>110335939
