Considered the fabric and the nature textile of the japanese fabric, most of the japanese cloth and fabric are "handmade". escpecially the color patterns, the trims, or maybe the embroidery sewing. Thus, the cloth fabric of itself cannot be made by any country, the price of a kimono can be very expensive. (This haven't even include the sewing process cost =_=)
However, most of the older japanese grandma or live in village outskirts of cities, those housewifes all knew how to "made" kimono by themselves and pass it to their kins or their loved ones. Or even, passing the kimonos from their previous ancestor or elders to the younger generations. (in some houses this is considered of their family traditions?)
During my study in college 8 years ago, I have the "honor" to meet japanese exchange students and my lecturer's wife, (who is also a japanese o.0") to exchange culture and communication. Kimonos in their japanese custom, which mostly be seen in certain special events; new year, praying respect to ancestor, summer ceremonial event, traditional tea party, adult ceremony or the puppet ceremony etc.
I think thats it. Yoroshiku Onegashimas.

Yes, it's very complex to make one, even from old fabric. Plus, remember the cost and time it takes for a Kimono to be built from nothing.
