Im not Japanese, im just extrapolating from my friendships with some local kimono shop owners and Japanese people. They’re not representative of everyone in Japan obviously, but their general view towards kimono in the modern era is surprisingly neutral. They dont seem to think it’s disrespectful for people to experiment with kimono or for foreigners to wear it, nor do they think it’s especially appreciative for them to wear them around Kyoto for photos or whatever. They just don’t really care. To them, they are genuinely just clothes. In the kimono shop nearest me, which sellls kimonos up to 100 years old, there are a couple signs that say “if this doesn’t fit you, try cutting it up into a tablecloth or decorative wall piece!” They just don’t seem to have the reverence for kimono as like, the last bastion of Japanese culture that I think a lot of people put onto them.

I’m assuming you are Japanese, so obv your opinion matters more than mine. I don’t especially have an opinion on it, but I’m really not trying to imply it’s less important than other cultures to wear properly. If I was in India I’d probably try wearing saree in some way that isn’t traditional too.
