Have you ever seen left side Japanese clothes? It is called "Jinbei." Jinbei is dressed in room by men in summer. It is said that the origin of Jinbei is "Jinbaoari." Right picture is Jinbaori. It was Japanese half-length coat which samurais wore when they took part in a war. Gradually, Jinbei spreaded among the common people. At first, it was called "Jinbeibaori." The word "jin" is from Jinbaori. The word"bei" means soldier. "Baori" means Japanese half-length coat. Then, the word "baori" was missed, and Jinbeibaori became Jinbei.

Originally, only men and children dress Jinbei. However, there are Jinbei for women today, and there are many colors and patterns. Although Jinbei is a kind of nightclothes, young people wear it when they go to convenience store or enjoy festival. I have Jinbei. It is really comfortable, but I don't want to dress it when I go out. This picture from http://item.rakuten.co.jp/fuwari/1000022/
What's more, there are Jinbei not only for women but also for dogs! I introduced some clothes for dogs last time. There are many kinds of clothers for dogs in Japan. Japanese enjoy the four seasons dressing their dogs. I think it is a trouble for dogs to be dressed, but I like it.
