KIMONO,YUKATA

Kimono and yukata are traditional Japanese clothing.

Attend the workshop, enjoy tea time, wear the yukata and visit a local temple.

Kimono are made of silk and are usually very expensive. Nowadays they are worn at formal or traditional occasions such as funerals,weddings or tea ceremonies. Only rarely kimono can still be seen in everyday life.

Kimono differ in style and color depending on the occasion on which it is worn and the age and marital status of the person wearing it. To put on a kimono needs some practice. Especially tying the belt (obi) alone is difficult so that many people require assistance. Wearing a kimono properly includes proper hair style, traditional shoes, socks, underwear, and a small handbag for women.

The yukata, on the other hand, is more of an informal leisure clothing. It can even be worn without underwear and is very comfortable on hot summer days or after a hot bath. Yukata are relatively inexpensive and made of cotton. While staying at a ryokan, you will be provided with a yukata.
