The kimono emoji (๐) showcases a traditional Japanese garment, characterized by its elegant, flowing silhouette and wide sleeves. Often adorned with intricate floral patterns, it symbolizes cultural heritage and grace. Commonly used in contexts reflecting Japanese culture, fashion, or ceremonies, the kimono may represent celebrations, such as weddings or festivals. An engaging example is its connection to the cherry blossom season, when kimonos are donned for hanami picnics. This iconic clothing piece beautifully bridges tradition and modernity, making it a beloved representation worldwide. The emoji version is 0.6, released in 2015.
