What Are The 4 Differences Between KIMONO & YUKATA? When & How The 13 Types of Kimono Are Worn

●How KIMONO and YUKATA are Worn and The 4 Main Differences! Explained by Two Kimono Dressing Trainees

I know that many people around the world who are hoping to travel to Japan someday, have “wear a kimono” on their to-do list. Kimono are a traditional kind of Japanese clothes, and its colors and designs are very beautiful.

But, have you ever heard of “yukata?”They are often worn by young boys and girls at summer festivals, or at ryokan style hotels. When you take a look at the two… they look almost identical. But, how are they different?

So today, as a man wearing kimonos almost everyday and has a wife training in kimono dressing, I will explain about the 4 main differences between kimono and yukata. At the end of the video, I will briefly explain about the 13 kinds of women’s Japanese traditional clothes too, so I hope you can stick around till the end.

"Is anyone still watching?"
Yes sensei, we still are 😂

[Candi_Clown]

My grandma gave me her old kimono and it’s 100% silk and I never knew the value until now o-o

[EvetheDoomed]

"aren't this the same with traditional clothing in other countries?" 😂 No, I don't think anyone else requires 5years of training to put on traditional clothes lol that is really interesting video!

[hidematsumoto]

Feel like a lady when in kimono 🙇‍♀️
Even my dog Hide walks slowly when im in kimono . Greatings from Holland

"It takes atleast 5 years of work experience to become a first class kimono dresser" he says "I think it's the same for most traditional clothing around the world" he says.... Meanwhile as a Scot I'm like plaids and kilts are basically like: "Oh, it's cold out and you hate pants? Here, wrap several yards of wool around your body and idk.... secure it with a belt and some safety pins!"

[franciscodiaz]

Nice, I always wondered what makes them different but never bothered looking into it. Thank you Shogo

[weisaschnee]

As a African American girl I admire and respect the Japanese culture and trying to learn as much as possible about Japan and their cultures so I am very grateful that so cover up the difference between a kimono and a yukata

[vampyresmiles]

I hope you'll do a follow up video in the future for men's kimono. Or even explain different ways of tying obi for men and women, though I know women's obi tend to be more complex.

[herminadepagan]

As a historical reenactor I have made and worn Yukata from traditional cotton. The process was interesting. I actually found it more freeing to wear than Tudor court or High Elizabethan.

Our traditional clothes and textiles are taught through oral traditions, from grandmother to daughters some times even men are taught the traditions. this includes the patterns and colours and when and who can wear certain clothing. The only formal thing some indigenous groups do is when they have to make the clothes, they would ask the chefs for permission to make traditional attire and they have to prove to the community that they know the traditions and rituals to make traditional clothes.

One thing I gotta say: since the very beggining of the channel the production, didactic and video edditing is with a dedication and expertise that few bring, nice work!

[MechaNick]

I have wondered what the difference between Kimono and Yukata was. So this was enlightening and I appreciate the explanation. Thank you.

[atinyevil]

I loved this! I didn’t know all the different types. I’m really into painting dolls and I wanted to put a kimono on one that I’m working on, but I didn’t quite know what to go with. Now I have a better idea.

[luxstellaelunae]

Just received my birthday present: a beautiful blue and flowery yukata with a ivory obi! Thanks goodness I already the necessary tying kit but still my kitsuke sure needs to be improved :)

[LittleBakemono]

A video serie on kimono dressing by Harumi would be so lovely 😍 Or, other videos on the other traditional clothes ? It's so hard to find accurate information about them ! Lastly, a question for Harumi : are there any special arrangements for pregnant women ? Like, a larger obi, maybe ?

[Yoyocreative]

I was introduced to traditional Japanese clothing through Kyudo! We wear a gi and hakama during training, but we had an event the other day and we got the opportunity to borrow Yukata to wear with our hakama!
It was so pretty and it felt amazing wearing such a wonderful garment! It inspired me to buy my own! 😊
Thank you for explaining us the differences! It's amazing To see what kind of history is behind these traditional clothes! ❤️

[idaelholm]

This video made me really want to try a kimono, I am from Norway and our tradisional clothing is very different.

[rolandgdean]

I wonder if you'd say "kimono" when you tell someone, "I need to buy something to wear."

[molkikun]

I wonder if are there still people wearing a kimono on a daily basis at home, or if it just something older people do?
