what is the difference between a kimono and a yukata?
- Country or region Japan
We usually wear yukata in summer, especially, at the summer festival. So yukata is thinner than kimono because it is used in the only summer.
However, kimono is used in a special event, for example, a wedding, funeral, coming-of-age ceremony and something like that. it's thicker than kimono and we have to wear many clothes to put on kimono.
But both of them is so similar design and used many colors so beautiful.
