Here are some more information for Japanese Traditional Kimono:
Japan Town, San Francisco, is located near center of the city. When one drives on Geary from east approaching Van Ness, one begins to see 5 stories Japanese style Pagoda. There is an office of National Japanese Association on Post Street, if one is interested in learning Japanese American History. There is a lot of Japanese monuments in Japan Town. The symbolic is the tower located in North Center of Japan Town on Post Street. It says "Japan Town" in Japanese.
This tower copies Fire Watching Tower in Japan. In Edo period of Tokugawa Shogun Government, volunteer and professional fire fighters were watching fires from the top of the tower. When they find a fire, ring the bell inside and alarm residents and signal fire fighters depart from the base station.
The most symbolic in Japan Town is the Japanese style 5 stories Pagoda. Pagoda was built to preserve and save Buddha bones after he deceased. This Pagoda is in the Center Square of 2 main buildings in Japan town. The square is a good place for having lunch with your friend in weekdays. The square today was full of young Asian tourists.
There is a wall on the Geary Street side of Japan Town, between main 2 buildings in the area. The wall was quite solemn. There are 2 Chinese Characters engraved on the wall. The Characters, on the wall, mean "Peace" in Japanese. This square is for preserving and recording what happened in the World War II to teach people how war can affect people.
In Japan Town, Street Names are shown both in English and Japanese. Japan Town is the unique place to find the street names are shown in both languages. I cannot believe 2 countries have a history of war in taking a look at this arrangement.
Walking into the one of 2 main buildings, one would not believe that he still is in the US. One feels like walking in some shopping mall in down town Tokyo, such as Shinjuku.
There are lots of Japan related shops, such as Kimono (Japanese Traditional Clothes) Shops, Japanese Traditional Dram Training Place, Japanese Antique Shops, or Japanese Restaurants. Everybody loves Sushi restaurant in Japan Town, San Francisco.
In the US, historically an immigrant's country, it is not so hard to find any ethnicity. Japan is not an exception. The most typical is Japan Town, but even without visiting Japan Town, San Francisco, there are Japan anywhere in Bay Area.
Driving on El Camino Real, which runs across California as a historic drive, one can find an Authentic Japanese Garden, in Central Park San Mateo. The person who designed, built, and maintained is 1st generation Japanese gentleman. His name is Sam. Sam came to US, when he was 10 years old.
After he had changed his job several times, San Mateo County hired him. Until he retired, he was the main person who took care of the Japanese Garden. In winter, he took out all the carps from the pound and changed water. In the spring, he took care of flowers and sharp wood branch tips so that children who play there were not hurt. Even after his official retirement, he goes to his garden and make sure everything is in order. His constant care and effort kept the garden beautiful.

Three Asian Traditional Wedding Costumes
Wedding dress is a dress worn by bride during the day at her wedding. A simple wedding dress doesn’t contain many details and most of the modern style wedding dress today applying this concept in their design. The color and style for a simple wedding dress must meet the basic requirement of elegant, presentable and feminine. Some wedding dresses design nowadays still constitutes religion and culture of the wedding participants. However here I would like to share with you seven traditional wedding dresses in the world.
Japanese “Kimono”
“Kimono” is a traditional garment worn by Japanese women, men and children. However Japanese women also wear “Kimono” during their wedding ceremony. Kimono is not a simple wedding dress as it required lots of time of effort for sewing it. Not to compare with other simple wedding dresses, “Kimono” also required time to wear it up. Generally for a Japanese bride, they need to put on this traditional costume at least 5 hours before the wedding ceremony. Again, “Kimono” is expensive due to its materials if comparing to other cheap simple wedding dresses. Kimonos are in T-shaped straight line robes with long collars and wide sleeves. The work on this dress is not as simple as what we observed from other simple wedding dresses. “Kimono” often worn by women during special occasions and festivals but somehow other it still is worn daily in some Japanese families. Many of the fashion designers in Japan still source for way to develop a new version of “Kimono” which going to match the idea of traditional Kimono and modern simple wedding dress.
Chinese “Hanfu”
“Hanfu” is a traditional wedding costume worn by Chinese bride on her wedding. “Hanfu” also known as “Hanzhuang” or “Guzhuang” and sometimes explained in English they called it Chinese Silk Robe. Same as “Kimono”, “Hanfu” was not simple wedding dresses as it required time and effort for sewing it. The costume is fully flourished with golden string that draft out the main graphic of “long” and “fong”. Chinese believed dragon and phoenix are two best sign for the population. As such the art work on it make the simple wedding dress look complicated. Some costumes commonly thought of Chinese like “Samfu” and “Qipao” and these traditional dresses also for use when there’s any formal function been held.
Vietnamese “Ao dai”
The “Aodai” is a national costume worn by Vietnamese women on important occasions. This dress looks elegant, straight, simple and presentable. Besides it also consider one of the cheap simple wedding dresses in the world, cheap not in terms of the quality but cheap in the prices. These <a href="http://hubpages.com/hub/SevenSignatureWeddingDressesInTheWorld">elegant simple wedding dresses In the World</a> have been justified as the traditional wedding dresses in Vietnam. Vietnamese bride would need to wear it during their wedding ceremony. However, the style worn today for “Aodai” is modernization of the “ao ngu than” and inspired by Manchu in the 19th century. “Ao dai’s” are classic examples for simple wedding dresses as it is only constitute a tight fitting silk tunic fabric fashion style. They are also equivalent garment for Vietnam man as their wedding gown called “ao gam”.
