What Is a Kimono?
The kimono is Japan’s traditional garment.
It can be worn regardless of the season and is often worn for special occasions such as weddings, coming-of-age ceremonies, and tea ceremonies.
Nowadays, it may be seen more as “traditional attire for special occasions” rather than everyday wear.
What Is a Yukata?
A yukata is a casual Japanese garment worn in the summer.
Made from lightweight materials such as cotton, it is more casual and comfortable to wear than a kimono.
In Japan,
summer festivals,
fireworks displays,
and hot spring inns
are common places to see them.
Their charm lies in the fact that they can be worn with geta sandals for a cool and casual experience.
At Shibuya Tsumugi, we carry traditional kimonos, our original “Shibuya Drape” line—which allows you to easily slip a kimono on over your clothes—
and a wide selection of yukata.
