- ●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.

I've always wanted to wear kimono! I would love to hear more about the kinds of kimono and their differences!
I'd love to wear a haori, it seems to be like a jacket. ^^
It's actually something I want to start buying at the end of the year.
I have never really considered wearing a full, formal kimono. But something like a yukata or what you where in your videos would be cool.
Yes I would.
My grandma gave me her old kimono and it’s 100% silk and I never knew the value until now o-o
Better hold on to it! A kimono like that is worth at least $20 thousand! If you need it cleaned, take it to a professional dry cleaner that has experience with kimono.
@@9Tailsfan oh yeah, I’d never get rid of it. It say an orange top and a black bottom with white spider lilies on it.
@@Candi_Clown Cool!
@@Candi_Clown now that's a treasure
@@9Tailsfan Just put it in the washing machine.
"Is anyone still watching?"
Yes sensei, we still are 😂
@nikola plays I know
@@harukagic yes
@@alphanova01 ?????
There was someone who replied and I think it's deleted
My late karate Sensei would do this hilariously after running us through drills from sunrise to noon, when everyone was nodding off while he was demonstrating kata.
Sensei: STILL WATCHING??
Everyone: *HAI*
Hai sensei
"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!
I think so too. I'm german and I think, as cliche as it might be, that our main traditional clothing is Dirndl and Lederhosen. Of course there are others as well in different regions. These are mainly southern germany. But I digress... My point was actually, that these are really easy to wear. They aren't much more difficult to put on than an normal dress or pants and shirt.
@@vrenelimeyer2856 yeah, I am Polish and even considering regional variations in Poland the outfits are fairly easy to put on. Maybe it's just European style lol
Yeah, right? In Spain traditional clothing is quite easy to wear. I guess in Europe in general is quite simple cause in many countries they look similar. 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.
@@adityasaini3657 yeah dude saree is damn hard to wear...
I see my mom and aunt wearing them and it takes max of 2 hours without help and maybe 1hour 30 minutes with help
It’s hard as hell
Historical re-enactor: some traditional European clothing did require people with special training to get into. But those clothes were basically for the nobility when attending special occasions. aka "Court dress." The rest of the population wore clothes they could put on themselves. =p
"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 "Whaaaaaat????", 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!"
I loved to learn how to actually put on a great kilt :)
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).
🤣
sounds like the Leatherpans from Germany :P just Tight but it takes nearly as long as slipping in your jeans :P
@@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!
Im dutch and i wear kimono and yukata👘
Feel like a lady when in kimono 🙇♀️
Even my dog Hide walks slowly when im in kimono . Greatings from Holland
Hehe🥰🥰🥰🤭💖💖💖
That’s so cool! I am currently reading a book about corrie ten boom. Have you been to their Beje?
I wear kimono and yukata too ^^ mine are always a bit too small though because I'm tall even for an american. But oh well, most americans wouldn't know it's too small ;)
I wish I had the guts to wear kimono, not necessarily daily. But I'm afraid of people screaming cultural appropriation at me.
GEKOLONISEERD
Nice, I always wondered what makes them different but never bothered looking into it. Thank you Shogo
Basically nothing
Yeah. Turns out it was different and unique on its own
Same, was thinking about it recently but was too lazy to look it up. Luckily this popped up in my recommended so I never have to.
@@kati3514 LMAO SAMEEEE
Sadly, used kimono depreciate significantly. Even high grade wedding kimono go for around $300, give or take $100. And if there's any stains, so much less.
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.
Makes sense. Those clothes have more layers and upper-class people wore heavier materials. Great for chilly England weather, not so much for Midwestern summers.
I used to work at a Ren faire, so I can sympathize.
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!
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.
there are many videos on how to tie an obi all over UA-cam
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.
Oohhh...
Where are you from? What tribe is it?
@@aiko9393 I am from South Africa, my tribes is isiXhosa and Setswana.
@@miraclemay24 Wow! The oral tradition and who can wear what is kinda similar to Javanese batik. The similarities are so interesting 😍😍
Nowadays, some patterns for commoners are used in contemporary shirts and dresses too ☺☺
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
I bet you like Japan because you watch a lot of anime.
I have wondered what the difference between Kimono and Yukata was. So this was enlightening and I appreciate the explanation. Thank you.
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 ?
Billy Matsunaga is a licensed kimono teacher with a channel on UA-cam. I believe she is German but her videos are in English.
Also, women who are pregnant will typically shift the obi up so it sits more over the belly, rather than on top
@@sparrow8072 Thank you for your answers, I'll go check that channel :)
I wonder if you'd say "kimono" when you tell someone, "I need to buy something to wear."
You'd use 'fuku' 服 to mean clothes in general today.
@nikola plays ふ isn't really pronounced like the "fuh" in f*ck. more like "foo" but not as long of a vowel sound. ふ also often sounds like somewhere between "fu" and "hu" to me (native english speaker). Sorry if you were just making a joke btw. Otherwise, I hope this clears things up :)
@@tianig1181 ふぁっく. Did I do it right? I know it should be in Katakana but since you're explaining ふ, so yea 😂
@@tianig1181 Never heard about the in-between pronunciation thing with ふ.
@@tianig1181 I was right!
(Native English, I thought it was foo)
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.
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 :)
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! ❤️
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”.
It's difficult 😅😅
And "originally"!! It caught me so off guard bc everything else sounded so normal n fluent😅 3:17 - 3:18
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.
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.
I wonder if are there still people wearing a kimono on a daily basis at home, or if it just something older people do?
kimono mom, you can find her on youtube, often wears traditional wear in her videos, although her videos are mostly cooking videos and not abt kimonos etc
I was in Japan for three weeks. In the whole three weeks, I only saw two old people on a train wearing them. That was it. So, no there aren't. Except possibly Ryokan owners.
If i were to live somewhere in rural japan, id probably wear a yukata everyday🤧 theyre just too pretty
Nope, kimonos are generally too much of a hassle to wear as everyday clothes, so it is extremely rare to see anyone wearing it on the streets. Yukatas are a little easier to wear so some people wear it often during the summer though.
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.
This video made me really want to try a kimono, I am from Norway and our tradisional clothing is very different.
Please talk more about kimonos.
They are so lovely and I find them really interesting.
Have a great day!
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've always been curious on Japanese culture so I've literally been binge watching this channel for the past week. These videos are so helpful incase I travel to Japan when I'm older...(which I plan on doing)
Watching this while removing the basting stitches for my new kimono XD
I had no idea there were so many styles of kimomo! Again, your channel is teaching me things. I love it! (I knew yukata were more informal summer wear, but your more in-depth information has given me a much better understanding of this style of kimono.) Thank you - I love this channel!
What a wonderful video, I learned so much. I had no idea there were so many different types of kimonos and had never heard of yukata. Thank you so much for your time to explain each of them. 😊
I would love to wear a kimono (of any kind) if I ever visit Japan. I have always loved traditional Japanese clothing as someone who loves history and anime.
I love the way you format your videos! So informative and concise! Thank you ☺️🌸💖
Shogo-San, I am learning so much. You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you.
I’m 1/2 Japanese. I just got a Yukata from a festival. I’m so happy with it because I’ve wanted one for so long. I used to wear one for work and loved it!
I’m so glad I found this channel. You’ve certainly got me subscribing. Please have your wife do a demo on putting on a kimono. Does she have a channel too?
💜💕❤️
after being interested in the history of japan’s kimonos, I did wanna know what made them so important. i’m glad this came on my recommended though, you managed to explain even a lot of the complicated parts very simply and understandably, so it shocks me how this video doesn’t have much views. gotta say, great job!
So informative! I will definitely be watching for future videos!
Very well made introduction. I can't wait til Harumi makes her kimono series. Then she and Billy could collaborate...
I wear kimono, weather permitting. When I move home (down South) I will be wearing kimono almost always.
I also am slowly resewing all my antique and vintage kimono where the thread needs replacing, it is a calm handsewing task.
I would love to see a deep dive on men's kimono where you get into all the details. (women's too, for that matter)
Always so calm and humble, and great topics! Love your vlog!
Sitting here mind blown. I knew there was different types but not this many! Amazing :D
I thought it just like wearing a suits. I learn a lot from this channel.
This is wonderful. Thank you for your time and knowsledge.
Thank you! Best explanation I had find here!
Thanks for the videos. Very informative. Would like to know more about the kimono for men
I've been learning so much about Japan & Japanese culture from your videos.
Thank you!
How beautiful! ❤️. Thank you for a lovely video.
Fascinating, relevant and so well explained! Thank you! 🎌
I'm really enjoying your channel since I joined! Great humor and wonderful explanations! This video was very informative and I learned alot of the subtle differences thanks to you. Keep up the great work!
This is my new favorite channel!
Thank u Shogo! Looking forward to hear more from you!
Informative as always
This is a very informative video, thank you for making it. I love the elegance and gracefulness of kimonos. I got myself a thick cotton yukata during one of my travels to Japan and have used it as a robe (it is so comfy to wear especially when it’s cold). Since you also mentioned that it is “a thing” to rent kimonos in Kyoto and walk around in them there, that’s definitely going to be in my to-do list if and when i go there one of these days (travel plans to Kyoto was cancelled due to Covid).
Fun Fact: I traveled to Japan in 2017, it was such a treat to experience the country's culture and people, it was really awesome the many shrines I visited.
I also never know the difference between Kimono & Yukata but I am glad I found that out
I hope I get back there someday
Super useful video - lots I didn't know about these fascinating garments. Thank you!
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!)
That was so fun to watch, very informative, thanks!
Best of Wishes! Happy New year 2023 great video! Thank you
Very detailed and understandable explanation! Thank you very much. Your English is also very good and fluent.
Brilliant videos, immensely interesting, and so much fun! 👏👏👏😁
I love Kimonos and Yukatas. They're my favorite Traditional Fashion. I actually have a Antique Yukata. It's from around the 1700s and happened to come across it in an Antique shop. I love it and it's so beautiful like an Obi my mom found at another Antique shop where she lives.
THANK YOU FOR THIS
INFORMATIVE WORK SIR
Thank you for this! I was very uninformed and knew very simple basics about kimono and yukata, but now I know plenty more! I will put this information into my drawings, thank you again!
This is very informative, thank you!
素晴らしい説明！ありがとう！
This man has such a kind, warm and inviting presence and is so calm and quiet, not over-the-top. It's a wonderful breath of fresh air!
Hi, Shogo!
Just want to say Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining it so easily. Your explanation will really help my students better understand Japanese culture beyond anime and things they often see in mainstream social media
Honestly I'm not afraid to admit that I had no idea what the difference between the two was. I love learning about these things. Japanese culture and history has always fascinated me, so this channel feels like a total treasure trove to me.
Thank you! I always wanted to know the difference between the two. I knew there was a lot prep work when it came to the Kimonos, but I learned a lot more!
This was an excellent video. I would like to learn more. Thank you.
Thank you, Shogo Sensei, for teaching us patiently about your beautiful culture and tradition!
I'm from Italy and lately It occurred to me how ancient and consistent japanese culture Is! Italy has a long history, but full of changes in style and it actually became a united state only two centuries ago! Japanese culture maintains rituals that go way back centuries!
We have traditional outfits too, but the depend on the regions and are by far less complicated and no one wears them in everyday Life.
We have museums where you can see the evolution of garment style through the centuries, but noone wears clothes likes those but in historical festivals or in movies
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.
Fascinating! I am inspired to find out how to wear a traditional Scottish kilt now.
Wow that was so interesting. I had NO idea. Thank you so much!
I have always loved the designs of these a lot and I love even more when the people that put so much love and care into these.
I've seen kimono's and yukata's but now i know it. Thanks for explaining it Shogo on the way to 100K subs 👍
Fabulous! Thank you very much.😊❤️
I was trying to find the difference between a yukata and a kimono since I wasn’t sure if they were different or not, this explained it perfectly. thank you!
the history explanations are on for a very short time, i had to rewind and pause to read them. You speak very well, thanks!
Since you ask if wearing traditional clothing is this complicated around the world:
I live in germany and our "traditional" clothing are Leder Hose ("leather pants") and Dirndl (a sort of shor dress with a smal undershirt and a sash).
And let me tell you, wearing them is so absolutely not complicated xD The only thing I am aware of that one has to pay attention to, is on which side of the body you tie your bow on the Dirndl since that shows your relationship status.
Man thanks for your time and knowledge about Japanese clothes, which helps me understand what is what.
Thanks for the helpfull video
This was very interesting. Wow. I had no idea. 👍👍👍
This is really interesting. Thank you for this.
Very informative, thank you so much!
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.
I love all your videos. Much love for you and your family!
Fantastic video, very informative.. i really like the bright and colourful kimonos with lots of patterns and flowers :D
Informative as always! Keep up, you’ll have your subs soon!
Tyvm for teaching us about your culture! Loved your explanation, so many things we don’t know about your BEAUTIFUL country.
Greetings from Chile, South America
Thanks for Good explanation,,,
Very informative.
Very helpful, thank you! 🙏
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.
Thank you for all the hard work on your videos. I share your videos as much as i can. Seeing this i definitely would like to know more about the men's type of kimono and ranks. I would likely go for yukata on average since Kimono are really for formal occasions.
So educational. Thank you!
Fascinating!
Thank you for this topic l am sharing this with my Nihongo class ,a very detailed discussion.
Thank you for such information !
