kimononagoya: A prime example of traditional mofuku, or mourning kimono. This is full mourning to be worn to the funeral of a very close loved one. It is impossible to see from the outside, but even the obi-stiffener, pillow, and elastic kimono-closing cord—all invisible when dressed— are also black. This is because these particular items are never worn with normal kimono, but are put aside (or gotten rid of) when the period of mourning is ended. It is implied that wearing this outfit is so emotionally painful that you would never want to touch those items again. -- source link
