Tomomi Miyajima, founder of Tokiya Japan, showed Good Morning Washington's Megan Clarke how to wear a traditional kimono.

For ages, the kimono has been the cornerstone of the Japanese style. It is not just about clothing. It is a window into Japan ...

Featuring natural and seasonal motifs, as well as customs and folkways, the rich colors of the kimono have reflected the beauty of Japan and shown the aesthetics of people through different times.

The kimono is the most famous garment worn in Japan. Kimono literally means “thing to wear” – it is made up of the Japanese words ki, meaning “to wear”, and mono, meaning “thing”.
