Needs to say something about the slits between bottom of sleeves and belt

[edit]

Authentic kimono styles have slits between bottom of sleeves and belt. Needs to say something about them.

@Ocdcntx: - that's the miyatsukuchi, which is currently mentioned under the Construction heading. However, that diagram isn't the clearest, and I would like to submit a new one for the article at a later date that makes this construction feature more obvious. -- Ineffablebookkeeper (talk) 09:45, 18 May 2021 (UTC)Reply

Plural of "kimono"

[edit]

What's the plural form of the word kimono? I've seen "kimono" and "kimonos", and am wondering whether the latter shouldn't be written as "kimonoes". Nakonana (talk) 07:45, 11 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

cost of kimono

[edit]

I think the cost of kimono is off. It says it goes to $1000 USD but this would be very low end. It is closer to 5000 for a high quality one. 2404:7A82:6AE1:4500:75E2:94A7:83EA:7803 (talk) 11:54, 16 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Suspected use of AI generation in History, Parts of Kimono, and Types of Kimono

[edit]

ZamboniZoomer is suspected of LLM use for edits elsewhere on Wikipedia. See Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/IncidentArchive1203#h-Disruptive_editing_by_ZamboniZoomer-20251013124600.

The following issues with this user's edits to this article have raised concern in my mind:

  • Wikilink for "Dotera" uses an alternative name for the clothing (Tanzen), but target page is unrelated.
  • Citation error with 'seikatsubunka'.
  • Several citations of non-english works without translation, possibly suspect.
  • Excessive redlinking?
  • Poor placement of 'Kamakura and Muromachi periods' subsection.
  • Image gallery in 'Yamato period to Nara period (300-794)' includes multiple works that seem more appropriate for other subsections.
  • Red wikilinks to extant content (e.g. "Tale of Genji Emaki", not Genji Monogatari Emaki; and "samurai class", not samurai).
