Historical dimension and evolution of male port
The adoption of Western clothing by men in the early 19th centuryMeijimarks a fundamental turning point in the history of the kimono. In 1872, the EmperorMeijiHe himself set an example by appearing in public in Western-style uniforms, quickly followed by government and military officials. This transition to masculine dress was part of Japan's broader desire to position itself as an equal to Western nations. The choice of clothing then became a powerful symbol of modernity and progress for men, while women, continuing to wear the kimono, became the guardians of Japanese dress tradition. This gender dichotomy profoundly influenced the perception of the kimono, gradually transforming it from a unisex garment into a symbol of Japanese femininity.
Specific masculine usage contexts
According to Kon Wajirō's observations in 1925, in a study of clothing fashions in Tokyo's Ginza district, 67% of men wore Western clothing in public, while only 1% of women adopted the Western style. However, in the private sphere, many men continued to prefer the comfort of the kimono, particularly thenagajuban(under-kimono) as an inner garment. Traders in traditional neighborhoods and artisans also continued to wear kimono, creating a visible social distinction between white-collar workers in Western dress and traditional workers in kimono. This duality of clothing reflected the complexity of Japan's modernization, where tradition and modernity coexisted.
Innovation and military tradition
THEjinbaori, a military field jacket worn over the kimono, represents an early example of clothing hybridization. These jackets, adopted as early as the 16th century after contact with Portuguese and Dutch traders, incorporated elements of Western design while retaining a strong Japanese identity. They were often decorated withMy(family crests) that clearly identified the wearer's rank and clan affiliation. The materials used in their manufacture could include rare imported fabrics such as wool or even Persian carpets, demonstrating an early openness to foreign influences. This tradition of innovation in formal men's clothing offersan interesting historical precedent for rethinking the contemporary male kimono while respecting its traditional codes.
