this one's a bit obvious; kyoshi warrior garb is very similar to japanese samurai armor. something people might not know is that their makeup is inspired by that of chinese operas
the fire nation soldier armor is reminiscent of armor from the song and tang dynasties. their helmets are similar to samurai helms as well, to inspire fear in their opponents
the robes of the fire nation prince and princess are similar to some hanfu (aka ancient chinese clothing)
