「古き良き着物」から「今だからこそ着物」へ。

Of all the Japanese clothing, yukata is probably the most casual and enjoyable.

Do you know the origin of the familiar "yukata"?

Who started using it and for what purpose?

It is said that during the Heian period, aristocrats began wearing it when taking a bath. Bathing at that time was different from bathing today in that it did not involve "immersing in hot water."

It was a steam bath style where multiple people bathed at the same time. Since people bathed in the steam while naked, they began to wear yukata to prevent burns, absorb sweat, and hide their nakedness.

Later, yukata, which are breathable and absorb sweat well, came to be worn after a bath or before going to bed, and in recent years, they have become more widely popular as they are worn outside for outings, festivals, and other occasions.

Kimono is fashionable! I want you to know about kimono now! The latest kimono trends!

Isn't kimono a bit intimidating?

・Expensive

・Lack of knowledge

・Not close to me

・I can't put it on by myself

When you see someone walking around in a kimono, you think, "Wow!" or "That looks nice," but it's not often you think, "I'll try wearing one myself!"

I was like that too, so I understand that very well! However, it seems that kimonos today are not like that. Unlike in the past, the hurdles are low and it's easy to try! Did you know that there are an increasing number of "kimono girls" who choose kimonos as part of their everyday fashion?

Perhaps we are approaching an era where kimonos are a natural addition to your everyday clothing choices. If it's summer, try a yukata! It may be relatively easy to try, as you'll think, "If it's a yukata!" Designs range from chic to retro-modern . There is also a wide range of cute, modern designs that are adult-like and POP , giving you a modern feel that you wouldn't expect from the image of "Japanese."
