Kimono which are made of silk are expensive.
This Kimono which is old and silk belonged to my my mother.
@nonrestrictive use
Kimono, which are made of silk, are expensive.
This Kimono, which is old and silk, belonged to my mother.
When I use the relative pronoun my sentence , I wonder do it needs "," or "no ,"?.

In the sentences you wrote, the "," is correct. You are learning some difficult written English grammar!!! I am impressed.
But oh!! Now I'll sound like an English teacher!
You are asking, "Does it need a comma or not?"
The main clause in each sentence is:
Kimono are expensive.
This kimono belonged to my mother.
"Which" is the correct pronoun to use when you want to add more (non-essential) information to each sentence.
The phrases, "which are made of silk" and "which is old and silk," are properly set off by the commas because, while those phrases add information—and are interesting, they are not necessary to understand the sentences.
So on to what I'm really interested to know about: do you have occasions to wear a kimono? Does your mother's kimono have an obi to wear with it?
Thanks you teacher! I am trying to study English.
Actually the picture of MARCH 10, 2008 WAS ME.
That kimono was deferent of this. My mother had a lot of kimono and obi. Unfortunately I can�ft get on kimono by myself and by no chance, I get on kimono.
