Yukata (how to wear it)

Indossare in modo corretto uno yukata non è semplice come si potrebbe pensare. Il lato sinistro dello yukata viene chiuso sopra quello destro (fare al contrario deve essere evitato in quanto tale procedura viene eseguita per vestire i morti prima del funerale), ed una cintura obi è usata per evitare che lo yukata si apra mentre si è in pubblico.

Fra gli uomini lo yukata viene comunemente indossato in pubblico dai lottatori di sumo. I lottatori di livello non alto devono indossare lo yukata in pubblico indipendentemente dalle condizioni atmosferiche o dalla stagione.

Alla fine del post è stato aggiunto video ce spiega il modo corretto per indossare uno yukata.

Yukata (how to wear it)

To properly wear a yukata is not necessarily obvious. The left side of the yukata is wrapped over the right side (the reverse is to be avoided as only the dead at funeral wears the rigt over the left), and an obi is used to keep the yukata from falling open when worn in public. In private, as after a bath, the yukata is usually simply belted. Also, thonged wooden sandals called geta are usually worn with the yukata.

Amongst men, the most common use of yukata when out in public is when it is worn by sumo wrestlers. Junior ranked wrestlers are expected to wear yukata when out in public, irrespective of the weather conditions or time of the year.
During the summer all wrestlers tend to wear this attire.

Both men and women often wear yukata at traditional Japanese inns, especially ones with their own hot-spring baths. After checking in, people often change into a yukata provided by the inn. Many go for walks outside, to the public bath, and even to dinner and breakfast (taken in a communal dining room) in their yukata.

  3. Hi!
    You know much more about yukata than me :-) It was interesting for me to watch the video, how to wear it. You can wear zori or setta instead of geta. Both are just like geta but made of different materials.
    Looking forward to read your next article :D
