traveling clothes(dochugi)
An abbreviated coat worn when going out in kimono. It is not worn as formal wear. It has a collar like a kimono and is designed to be worn with the front together. It has both practicality to protect the kimono and obi from rain and wind and to keep them clean, as well as a fashionable design to cover the kimono. It is tailored by selecting fabrics, colors, and patterns that suit one’s taste. Unlike the haori, it is customary to take it off at the entrance.
