Normal kimono
A type of traditional Japanese clothing, consisting of a long, wide-sleeved robe, closed at the front forming a "y" shape. It is held closed with a wide belt-like sash called an obi. The sleeves can be tied back with tasuki.
Kimonos are often worn with other traditional accessories, such as zouri (traditional wooden sandals), tabi (split-toe socks), and kanzashi (traditional hair ornaments). A kinchaku (small cloth drawstring bag) is often carried while wearing a kimono.
Kimonos come in many different styles for different occasions. Yukata are worn during summer to summer festivals or to onsens. Furisode are formal kimonos worn by unmarried women. Uchikake and shiromuku are worn by brides during wedding ceremonies.
Juban are usually worn under the kimono as the inner layer, and used by some as sleepwear.
Of note, Kimono from the Sengoku Jidai onward are generally single-piece or layered robes tied with an obi. The Nibushiki Kimono, developed around the 1970s, is a more modern development with incorporates an obi with a two-piece shirt and dress and not considered traditional. If you are tagging a two-piece set of attire with a sash where the bottom-piece is not a hakama consider using hanbok or hanfu instead.
