Yukata - Japanese summer kimono

In the olden days when all the Japanese were wearing the Kimono, this Yukata was the dress they used to wear after taking bath during summer. It is mainly used as a pajama, and at present the Japanese wear it during the summer festival and fireworks enjoyment etc. It is widespread among the youngsters as the fashion consciousness dress.

The Yukata can be worn easily than the usual Kimono, and this is also one of the reason for its popularity.

The Japanese Kimono is generally known, but the foreign nationals may not be aware that it is very easy to wear the Yukata.

Recently, lot of foreigners are showing interest in the Japanese dress due to the popularity of the animated cartoon and cartoon of Japan. There are a lot of foreigners who remember the way of dressing by self-study because there are lot of animations of dressing explained in the foreign language.

When you see a young woman wearing the Yukata, you get a different impression from the regular one, and feel the Japanese beauty. I wish the youngsters continue the culture of wearing the Yukata as long as one likes!
