IV. Read the following passage and do as direct. (17-22)
A traditional Japanese robe is called a kimono. In Japan, both men and women wear it. Kimonos come in a lot of different colours and designs. Most of the time, flowers or waves are used. Silk is what most kimonos are made of. The silk makes them look nice and costs a lot.
Some kimonos have bands called obi that go around the waist. Like the kimono, the obi can also be decorated to match. Kimonos are only worn for special events. People in Japan today usually wear clothes from the West to work and school. But they still wear kimonos to events like weddings, tea ceremonies, and fairs. Japanese culture includes wearing a kimono. Kimonos are hard to put on correctly. They have to wear special underwear called Nagarjuna, which is tied around the waist.
Even so, kimonos are beautiful and easy to wear. Putting on a kimono makes a lot of people feel happy and connected to their past.
