The word “kimono” has been thrown around as casually and as often a word can be, but do people actually know what it is? At some point in our lives we’ve heard about the kimono, or even worn a clothing piece that resembles it.

But the kimono is not just a fashion style — it has quite a culturally rich history, so much that the internet is saturated with all sorts of information on it. 

In this episode, podcast host Azra neatly compartmentalises all you ever need to know about this famous traditional Japanese wear: its history, symbolism, key components of the garment and its variations!

Kicking off Season 12's theme of "Japanese Fashion", this first episode will have the topic of what I call the yin and yang of Japanese fashion, and that’s because there are two sides to this country’s fashion scene, which are not just opposites but also complementary.

Episode one will give you a tease into what this season has in store, by giving an overview of wafuku and yofuku respectively.
