The Legend of the Japanese Yukata

The Japanese yukata is not what we think of as a bathrobe or pajamas. Although in Japan, the yukata was originally worn directly after bathing, it is a lightweight kimono. It is a lightweight kimono, but it is easier to wear and much cheaper to buy than a kimono as a traditional simple garment for cooling off. The yukata is a must-have for the Japanese to enjoy the fireworks at summer festivals.

Japanese kimonos are worn for many traditional events, and depending on the occasion and time of the year, different kimonos are worn as a sign of discretion. For example, every January, girls who turned 21 the year before wear kimonos to celebrate their "coming of age day.

Yukata is worn at summer festivals and fireworks displays. The yukata is a lightweight kimono made of cotton rather than silk. Yukata have brighter colors and brighter patterns than traditional kimonos, and they add cheerful color and atmosphere to the summer season. The cotton robes you rent at Japanese-style hotels and ryokans are also called yukata.?...

In Japan, the yukata was originally worn directly over the body after bathing, as a traditional simple garment for cooling off, and like the kimono, it is worn without pants. Because the yukata is more like a traditional kimono, with an obi belt, a flower knot, and a matching hairstyle and handbag, people tend to associate yukata with the expensive traditional kimono. However, for an average Japanese person, the kimono may be worn only once in a lifetime during the coming-of-age ceremony (at the age of 20) or not even once at all. But the consumer price of "yukata" is closer to the price of ordinary clothes than that of "kimono", so most young girls want to wear a different yukata every summer.

The difference between a kimono and a yukata is that a kimono is made of high-grade fabric and is extremely complicated to wear, while a yukata is mostly made of fabric.

The main difference between a kimono and a yukata is that a kimono is more formal ~ a yukata is more casual!
