Wafuku are traditional Japanese clothes, which are also called kimono.
When you wear wafuku, the left side of the clothes must be wrapped over the right.
Unlike with western style clothes, both men and women wear their clothing with the left side over the right.
In Japan, when people passed away they are dressed in white kimono as burial clothes which are called Shiro-Shozoku.
The way to have a dead person wear the shiro-shozoku is to wrap the wafuku in the opposite way, tucking the left side under the right. Thus, if you wear wafuku the wrong way you may look like a dead person or ghost.
和服は日本の伝統的な衣装で、着物とも呼ばれています。
和服を着るときには服の右側が下、左側が上に来るように着ます。
洋服と違って男女ともに同じく左側が上になります。
日本では亡くなった人に白装束とよばれる白い着物を着せますが、その場合は反対に右側を上に左側を下にして着せます。
なので、もしあなたが逆に着てしまうと、死体か幽霊かのように見えてしまいます。
Yuuki.F.
