They&rsquo;re made of lighter material and are worn directly against the skin like a robe.<\/p>\n<p>That means there&rsquo;s no second collar peeking through. The obi belts are usually less ornate and complex-looking. And, to top it off, you can wear them with whatever footwear you desire.<\/p>\n<p>You&rsquo;ll most often see these at hot springs resorts or summer festivals.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Defining <i>Kimono<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>As always, I&rsquo;m going to take us back to the basics and look at the word itself. First, let&rsquo;s take a look at how the word is written natively in Japanese. <i>Kimono<\/i> is a contraction of a slightly longer word, <i>kirumono<\/i>, which means, explicitly, &ldquo;wear-thing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The word <i>kimono<\/i> is written with two <i>kanji<\/i> (Chinese characters) like so: &#30528;&#29289;. That first character, &#30528;, in this context means &ldquo;wear&rdquo; or &ldquo;garment.&rdquo; The second character, &#29289;, means &ldquo;thing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So, what we have here is an extremely simple, straightforward concept, and I want that to inform your understanding of this subject as we go forward. Now, what does the dictionary have to say about it?<\/p>\n<p>&#36523;&#12395;&#30528;&#12427;&#12418;&#12398;&#12290;&#34915;&#26381;&#12290;<br>\n&#65288;&#27915;&#26381;&#12395;&#23550;&#12375;&#12390;&#65289;&#21644;&#26381;&#12289;&#29305;&#12395;&#38263;&#30528;&#12434;&#12356;&#12358;&#12290;<\/p>\n<p>So, the first definition reinforces what we&rsquo;ve already learned. &ldquo;A thing worn on oneself. Clothes.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Nothing super interesting there. The <i>kanji<\/i> alone told us that much.<\/p>\n<p>But anyone who&rsquo;s seen a <i>kimono<\/i> knows there must be something more to it, right?<\/p>\n<p>And especially if you&rsquo;re the least bit familiar with Japanese or Japanese culture, you know they don&rsquo;t refer to blue jeans or blouses as <i>kimono<\/i>. So what gives?<\/p>\n<p>That second definition gives us a view into the important distinction. &ldquo;(In contrast with Western clothing) Japanese clothes, especially <i>nagagi<\/i>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Okay. So, now we have two extra pieces of information. First, the easy one. <i>Kimono<\/i> are Japanese clothes, not Western. A simple, but vital distinction. But what&rsquo;s a <i>nagagi<\/i>?<\/p>\n<p>This one is written with two <i>kanji<\/i> again. &#38263;&#30528;. That first <i>kanji<\/i> means &ldquo;long&rdquo; and the second one you should recognize from <i>kimono<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>So, &ldquo;long garment.&rdquo; It&rsquo;s any Japanese-style clothing that reaches ankle-length.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Defining <i>Yukata<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>In Japanese, <i>yukata<\/i> is written &#28020;&#34915;. That first <i>kanji<\/i>, in this context, means &ldquo;bathe.&rdquo; The second <i>kanji<\/i> means &ldquo;garment.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>Now, let&rsquo;s take a look at the definition.<\/p>\n<p>&#26408;&#32191;&#12391;&#20316;&#12387;&#12383;&#12402;&#12392;&#12360;&#12398;&#30528;&#29289;&#12290;&#20837;&#28020;&#24460;&#12420;&#22799;&#23395;&#12395;&#30528;&#12427;&#12290;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;<i>Kimono<\/i> made of one layer of cotton. Worn at times such as summer and after bathing.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>So, is it clothing, or a bathrobe? Well, we&rsquo;ll get to that in a sec. Let&rsquo;s go over a bit of history now to shore up our understanding.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kimono-vs.-Yukata-1.jpg\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23902\" src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kimono-vs.-Yukata-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kimono vs. Yukata\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kimono-vs.-Yukata-1.jpg\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-23902 lazyload\" src=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kimono-vs.-Yukata-1.jpg\" alt=\"Kimono vs. Yukata\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Kimono-vs.-Yukata-1.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-3\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><\/a><br>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>A Brief History of a Long Robe<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The current understanding of <i>kimono<\/i> came about in the <i>Meiji<\/i> period, when Japan opened its borders and was flooded with European influence in the mid-to-late 1800s.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to this time, Japanese people referred to their garments with specific names. There were <i>furisode, uchikake, kosode, hitoe<\/i>, and more.<\/p>\n<p>These terms still exist today, but nowadays we think of them as sort of sub-genres of the <i>kimono<\/i>. In pre-modern Japan every piece of clothing was known by its own name.<\/p>\n<p>But, by 1872, even the emperor of Japan was wearing Western-style clothing, and by 1887 there were imperial proclamations encouraging everyone to take up the foreign fashion.<\/p>\n<p>Bit by bit, the old history was forgotten and the old terms were collapsed into one catch-all expression: <i>kimono<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>So, where did this all start? If we jump back one and a half thousand years to the<i> Kofun<\/i> period, we find Japan being heavily influenced by Chinese culture and modes of dress. The origins of <i>kimono<\/i> are found in this time.<\/p>\n<p>It would take another thousand years before the specific style we&rsquo;re familiar with would start to show itself.<\/p>\n<p>During the <i>Muromachi<\/i> period, which lasted from 1392 until 1573, the <i>kimono<\/i> as we think of it today began to take shape in the form of the <i>kosode<\/i> and <i>osode<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>By the <i>Edo<\/i> period which followed, it was more or less settled in its final form.<\/p>\n<p>During the <i>Edo<\/i> period, the <i>kimono<\/i> was often used to communicate a variety of bits of information about the wearer.<\/p>\n<p>For example, long sleeves were worn only by unmarried women (a tradition that continues to this day).<\/p>\n<p>The materials used in the construction of the garment (such as silk, hemp, ramie, or cotton) would indicate the wealth of the wearer.<\/p>\n<p>Ditto the intricacy of the decorative patterns, which would have to be hand stitched with impressive amounts of intense labor.<\/p>\n<p><i>Kimono<\/i> were worn by all classes of people, though much could be learned just from looking at who was wearing what.<\/p>\n<p>Field workers had rough, durable <i>kimono<\/i> they stitched themselves with sleeves that wouldn&rsquo;t get in the way of their work.<\/p>\n<p>Rich merchants would wear elaborate, silk <i>kimono<\/i> made from a single bolt of fabric.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond that, those of high education would commission designs that referenced classical poetry, challenging those who saw them to decipher the tricky allusions.<\/p>\n<p>But the <i>Meiji<\/i> period put an end to all this. By the early 1900s traditional clothing was being phased out of schools in favor of Western, sailor-inspired uniforms.<\/p>\n<p>By the 1940s men were no longer allowed to wear anything other than a state-mandated, Western-inspired uniform in their day-to-day lives.<\/p>\n<p>In recent years, the <i>kimono<\/i> has been making a comeback, but many of the distinguishing features of them are only really understood by connoisseurs.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>So Where&rsquo;d the Yukata Come From?<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>The <i>yukata<\/i> finds its origins in the <i>Edo<\/i> period garment known as a <i>katabira<\/i>, a hemp garment worn by the upper classes in the summer.<\/p>\n<p>An immediate descendent of the <i>katabira<\/i> was the <i>yukatabira<\/i>. The <i>yu<\/i> means &ldquo;bath.&rdquo; Instead of using a towel, people would put on a <i>yukatabira<\/i> to dry off, just like a bathrobe.<\/p>\n<p>During the late <i>Edo<\/i> period cotton became widespread in Japan and, when the robes started to be made from the softer, absorbent fabric, the name was shortened from <i>yukatabira<\/i> to <i>yukata<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p><i>Yukata<\/i> were traditionally dyed with indigo since it worked best with cotton. That tradition carries on today. Especially for hot spring resorts, you&rsquo;ll most often see people wearing blueish <i>yukata<\/i> robes.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that <i>yukata<\/i> got their start as a bath robe, nowadays you&rsquo;ll also see them being worn out and about during the summer, especially during festivals.<\/p>\n<p>One lovely way to spend an evening in Japan is to go out to a festival when there will be fireworks. You&rsquo;re sure to see lots and lots of young Japanese couples wandering around sporting colorful, exciting <i>yukata<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Some Types of Kimono<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><strong><i>Kosode<\/i> <\/strong>&ndash; Short-sleeved <i>kimono<\/i> (for married women!)<br>\n<strong><i>Furisode<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; Long-sleeved <i>kimono<\/i> (for unmarried women!)<br>\n<strong><i>Hitoe<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; Summer <i>kimono<\/i><br>\n<strong><i>Uchikake<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; A heavy, extra <i>kimono<\/i> with a trailing hem that is worn on top of a regular <i>kimono<\/i> by the bride at her wedding<br>\n<strong><i>Komon<\/i> <\/strong>&ndash; Relatively casual <i>kimono<\/i> with repeated patterns woven through the fabric<br>\n<strong><i>Iromuji<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; Colorful <i>kimono<\/i> typically worn to tea ceremonies<br>\n<strong><i>Mofuku<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; Mourning <i>kimono<\/i> in all black, worn by both men and women.<br>\n<strong><i>Hakama<\/i><\/strong> &ndash; A sort of half-pants, half-skirt trouser that is worn in more casual situations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Odds and Ends<\/b><\/h2>\n<p>I&rsquo;ve got two other bits of trivia that I couldn&rsquo;t quite figure out where to shove in elsewhere, but I think are worth knowing.<\/p>\n<p>One is super important if you ever plan on wearing either <i>kimono<\/i> or <i>yukata<\/i> specifically.<\/p>\n<p>Always, when wearing any sort of traditional Japanese robe, place the left side <i>over<\/i> the right.<\/p>\n<p>Again, when wrapping yourself in the <i>kimono<\/i>, place the right side against your body, and then put the left side on top.<\/p>\n<p>The reason for this is that, in Japan, when someone dies, they are dressed the opposite way. So, if you put the right on top it can come across at best as weird and unsettling, at worst as offensive and rude.<\/p>\n<p>When wearing a <i>yukata<\/i>, tie the obi off in a bow and swing the bow around to the back.<\/p>\n<p>And, last of all, it&rsquo;s a neat bit of trivia to know that, very often, when <i>kimono<\/i> get old, most people will cut them up and use them for other things.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes they are repurposed for children&rsquo;s <i>kimono<\/i>, and sometimes they&rsquo;re used for whatever bits of fabric are needed around the house. <i>Kimono<\/i> are made of expensive material, so people tend to want to get the most possible use out of them!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><b>Final Thoughts on <i>Kimono<\/i> and <i>Yukata<\/i><\/b><\/h2>\n<p>So, as you&rsquo;ve learned, <i>yukata<\/i> are just another type of <i>kimono<\/i>.
