Part III

Do you think people in these Asian countries always dressed like they do now? No - that's a silly question, isn't it? Just like people in America dressed differently in the past, people in Asian countries dressed differently. You might be familiar with the traditional clothing of Japan - it's called a kimono. People in Japan still wear kimonos, but on very special occasions. Go back to the first web site you used to research some information about traditional costumes of Japan. Take notes on this web site in Part #2 of your Clothing Styles of Asia worksheet. As you look at the photographs and read the captions, think about how these clothes are different than modern clothes; what materials these clothes are made from, and how you think these clothes might be made.
