The japanese school uniform exists since the XX century when Japan was modernized being one of the world powers. During the Edo period, thanks to the uniform, all the students could be the same, even with the social and economic diferences. Without this, some students would have worn beautiful kimonos and others would have worn more simple clothes. 

The difference between the uniforms of the different schools is the bow. A lot of students decide the school they want according to the type of uniform that it has.
