Han Chinese clothing or the silk robe greatly influenced the original kimonos of Japan. It was an old type of dress that was worn prior to Chinese Qing Dynasty during the middle of s. As the rulers changed, the kimono dress changed also. Dress changes that would differentiate between wedded and unwedded women, sleeves turned longer, the belt became wider and the hakama pants were detached.
However, the original shape and style of kimono still remained. The kimono has different features and they differ in men in women. Modern Kimono are widely available in less-expensive easy-care fabrics such as rayon, cotton satIn, cotton, polyester and other synthetic fibers. Yukata is an informal kind of Kimono. It is ideal for wearing in warmer months to events such as Japanese street festivals, anime conventions, and just having fun around town.
Due to how few accessories are required to wear this type of Kimono, they are widely considered ideal for anyone new to wearing Kimono. For many people, this is the first kind of Kimono they are exposed to in Japan, due to the tourist dressing services which offer Yukata dressings.
Yukata are normally constructed from a cotton print fabric, and most modern ones are mass produced. Each gender wears their Yukata differently. Yukata are most popular during the summer months, where the unlined cotton fabric is most suited to combat the hot temperature.
They can be worn around every day. However, it is most common to see young people enjoying them during the firework viewing festivals, known as hanabi in Japanese. Yukata functions both as a bathrobe and loungewear. It can be worn at all times during your stay including the bath, to both dinner and breakfast, and to bed as sleepwear.
The Yukata was later also worn by Japanese warriors and by the Edo era , it was widely worn by the public when public baths became a popular recreation in Japan. The Yukata is a casual version of the kimono. It is a robe usually made of cotton or synthetic fabric, wrapped around the body and fastened with a sash obi.
Yukata are worn by men and women. Like other forms of traditional Japanese clothing, Yukata are made with straight seams and wide sleeves. Yukata may be the most well-known type of Kimono to foreigners. It is a type of Kimono made of ordinary cotton, used in summer.
Compared to Furisode , Yukata are much simpler. As a result, Japanese women know how to wear it without help just after learning a few times. In the past, the traditional Yukata usually had only two sets of colors: white-black or blue-white, but in the last few years this Kimono style has been designed in many eye-catching colors.
In ancient times, Yukata was only used at home as bathing wear. Today, Yukata is often worn by both men and women on Bon-Odori day Japanese traditional dance festival in summer and other summer festivals. Moreover, tourists are provided with Yukata in traditional Japanese inns or ryokans when they stay on vacation.
The soft, loose garment helps tourists relax and feel at home. The basic difference that can be seen between Yukata and Kimono, is in their fabric. Yukata comes in cotton fabric. On the contrary, a Kimono dress comes in silk fabric. Another difference is that Yukata is worn during the summer season.
