1. Yes, sometimes
2. Yes, sometimes
3. Women much more often than men

4. No, it is a nice thing for formal occassions, but a pain to wear (esp for the ladies). I like to think of it like a tux. You don't want to wear one all the time but sometimes it is fun.

5. Weddings, fuenerals, graduation ceremonies, 3,5,7 yrs festivals, tea ceremonies, omiai, New Years, other festivals, etc etc and so forth

6. Colors can be a bit garrish sometimes. I like more muted tones.

7. People will continue to use it on special occassions but not for daily wear.
