Why do we need such long sleeves? 1. Ancient times: To bring in good luck and drive away evil spirits 2. Heian period: To express emotions without speaking 3. Edo period: For fashion and to represent an unmarried woman From ancient times, the fluttering of clothes is believed to bring in good luck or drive away evil spirits. This is why, for example, traditional restaurants and hotels have the 暖簾 noren entrance curtains (shinto shrines with many flags too) and kimono sleeves were originally created long too. Eventually from the Heian period (794~1185), it began to be used to express a woman’s feelings/emotions. By swinging their sleeves in certain ways, women (of the aristocrats’ class) told men if they liked him or not without speaking, in an era when reticence and emotionlessness was the standard for a beautiful woman. Even today, being dumped by someone is expressed as 振られる FURERU in Japanese, which means “be swinged/shacked.” From the Edo period (1603~1868), the 250 years of peace helped the development of fashionable clothing. Long sleeves became more of something to simply make women look more beautiful and they began to represent unmarried women who needed to appeal their prettiness to men. In other words, once you get married, you would wear a kimono with shorter sleeves. Today, we have carried on the kimono culture of the Edo period and long sleeves are believed to be part of the fashionable design. By the way, you can keep small items and handkerchiefs in the long sleeves as pockets too, so they can actually be useful sometimes.
