Yukata Kimono Market Sakura

If anyone of any age wants to take a deeper stroll into the customs of Japan, I have found a great sight that is wonderful and helpful for people would like to take that stroll. It is by choice if you order one but the Yukata Kimono Market Sakura is a business in Japan that sells new handmade kimonos and yukatas that are authentic without the major price due to the silk of traditional kimonos and yukatas. A kimono is a Japanese traditional garment worn by women, men and children. The word "kimono", which literally means a "thing to wear" (ki "wear" and mono "thing"),has come to denote these full-length robes.
Kimonos are T-shaped, straight-lined robes worn so that the hem falls to the ankle, with attached collars and long, wide sleeves. Kimonos are wrapped around the body, always with the left side over the right (except when dressing the dead for burial),and secured by a sash called an obi, which is tied at the back. Kimonos are generally worn with traditional footwear (especially zōri or geta) and split-toe socks (tabi). A yukata is a Japanese garment, a casual summer kimono usually made of cotton. People wearing yukata are a common sight in Japan at fireworks displays, bon-odori festivals, and other summer events. The yukata is also frequently worn after bathing at traditional Japanese inns. Though their use is not limited to after-bath wear, yukata literally means bath(ing) clothes.
Like other forms of traditional Japanese clothing yukata are made with straight seams and wide sleeves. Unlike formal kimono, which are made of silk (the site sells both silk and cotton with a major price difference between the two), yukata are typically made of cotton or synthetic fabrics, and are unlined. Wearing the customs helps people understand a deeper meaning of Japanese Culture. This site http://www.kimono-yukata-market.com/ is a great place to find newly made kimonos and yukatas made of cotton. It is a bit costly but for those who WANT to buy, I recommend this site only because the product is brand new compared to other sites and is made of cotton with a lower price than other sites. SO many selections and beautiful wear for everyone at any age.
