The survey consisted of questioners about the part of kimono which elicited pressure or exhaustive sensation in 333 women. Pressure sensation was most frequently noted at the part of obi, while exhaustive sensation in the whole upper part of the body, especially in the shoulder and back. Secondly, clothing pressure of kimono was measured in 9 subjects wearing furisode, komon, hakama or yukata. As a result, the clothing pressure was high at the upper edge of obi, especially in the axially region. A three-way layout ANOVA revealed a significant correlation between the kind of kimono and clothing pressure at measuring points with the risk of 0.01.
