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

A skirt, a vest and a blouse underneath, throw a pair of long stockings and there you have it. Japanese people really put effort in every detail.

      I think the 5 years of training aims to get you on a professional level where you can dress every single kind of kimono and possess a capability to mix and match items depending on the clientele’s requirements and personal style. As well as perhaps a thorough knowledge of the fabric and designs. When it comes to dressing yourself in your own time and your own style, casual kimono isn’t actually that much more difficult than yukata. There are significantly more elements you have to think about but I was able to put on casual kimono by myself after a fairly short time, and I wear them out from time to time, not for any occasion, just casually. Of course you probably need a lot of practice and training if say you want to put on a formal tomesode or furisode by yourself but it’s probably doable (there are many kitsuke videos for those too).

      @@masodemic4509 I recall that it can be difficult to do certain things without help when putting on a kimono (particularly a woman's kimono) without assistance. My grandmother and great-aunt took me to get a yukata when I was...somewhere between 8 and 10?...and I recall how much had to be done to get the obi tied properly, which seems like it would have been completely out of reach and line-of-sight for someone trying to do it alone, being behind the back and pulled so snug to the body that I can't picture it being something you can do in the front and then turn around to the back. That's not even going into how much the two of them argued with one another about what kinds of bows were appropriate for a young girl's yukata obi, and with the lady at the shop who was actually fitting and dressing me!

    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.

      @_Just_Another_Guy 2 года назад +19

      Kimonos tend to only be worn during formal occasions like graduation, wedding, etc.
      Yukata is the casual wear. Many people wear it during summer because the fabric is thinner than kimono and it's lighter. They wear it during casual yet traditional public celebrations like firework festival, Obon, etc
      But most middle aged and young Japanese people nowadays prefer to wear casual t-shirts and pants/long skirts to attend casual public festivals.

    i always wondered what the difference was between the 2, i have looked up a few differnet places but the volume of information on some sites was daunting and confusing as were a few videos i watched, thank you for making the information easy to understand, i love learning new things about differnt countries and their cultures and this along with the sushi video was very interesting.

    @RKusmie64 2 года назад +2

    I was just watching a few videos about foreigners wearing kimono, and a couple of causasian girls wearing yukata to a summer festival, and I wondered what the difference was. So this was very timely lol. Thank you! You made it pretty easy to understand basic differences, and I see why you'd have to do a series on all the types of kimono! Very interesting. (btw I live in MI so I hope you enjoyed your time here :-) when you lived here). (edit: I want to find somewhere to get myself a yukata; they're so beautiful!)

    It’s funny how perfect Shogo’s English is except for “polyester” where he consistently uses what sounds like the “L” sound for the last “r”.

      @animehuntress9018 2 года назад +5

      I don't hear it. I can tell that the pronunciation is a bit of a struggle but it doesn't sound like an r or an l to me. It sounds more like when I was trying to pronounce some words in French and German and I was trying to fin where in my mouth to make the right sound.
      ps... yeah I can read somewhat in both languages but speaking is out of the question sadly.

    • @keithklassen5320

      I think he was just using the Japanese pronunciation of that word. His English is way better than that, if he was trying to pronounce it the English way, he would do it perfectly.

      @@animehuntress9018 Tends to be the case for non-native speakers who have already "locked in" the phonetics of their native language when they are speaking a different language. Even ones in the same language family often have different phonetics due to how they evolved.

    Thank you for producing such valuable contents that educate the world about Japanese customs and traditions. This one is one of the best! Personally, I find both Kimono and Yukata very beautiful. It is an extraordinary accomplishment to see that Japan and her people have preserved centuries old traditions when most other countries struggle with their own self identities. Again, thank you very much for sharing your insights.

  • @ohhghost
    @ohhghost 2 года назад +1

    Thank you so much for this very educational explanation, I did not realize there were thirteen types of kimono. I did know that yukata were light clothes for summer and often worn for summer festivals, though. My daughter has been interested in Japan and the Japanese language since she was 2! She even taught herself Japanese, although I could not speak with her. It’s my dream to take her to a summer festival some day and to let her wear a beautiful yukata and enjoy and experience Japanese culture! I subscribed right away :) looking forward to watching all your content and sharing it with her.

    When I was in high school and college, I wore a Yukata (cotton ones only) around the house as a bathrobe. Because I am so tall, about 6' tall, I had to buy the men's Yukata, so they'd be long enough, so only had black and white or black and white pattern options only. And the ones for sale in Japantown here in the states (LA & SF), the belt is only about 2" wide and same fabric as the Yukata.

    I'd love to buy a yukata, but I'm afraid of getting harassed by some Facebook mom group wandering the streets. And if I bought one I'd want to wear it in my everyday summer clothes, not just for special occasions.

    I also am slowly resewing all my antique and vintage kimono where the thread needs replacing, it is a calm handsewing task.
