Q&A
- What is the difference between Kimono and Yukata?
- The most difference is material. Yukata is also one of kimonos, but it is basically made of cotton. (There are the ones made of Linen or Polyester as well.) Generally, when it is called a kimono, it is all made of silk. Also, Yukata is casual wear and Kimono is formal wear in Japan.
- What sizes are available for Yukata/Kimono?
- There are sizes available for both children and adults.
Adult sizes for yukata range from regular (up to about 163cm in height) to 5L.
The size of kimono (ready to wear) is suitable for individuals up to about 163cm in height (regular size).
Children’s sizes range from 90cm (for 1-2-year-old) to around 150cm (for 13-15-year-old). - Do you make a custom Yukata/Kimono?
- Yes. We can tailor-make a kimono based on your preferred fabric and design, taking into account your height and body shape.
- Do you offer international shipping?
- Yes. We offer international shipping via EMS mail by JP Post for products purchased from our store.
- How should I wash Yukata/Kimono?
- Yukatas should be highly recommendable to be hand-washed.
Although it is possible to use a washing machine, it may cause color fading, so please do not wash it together with other laundry. Also, they are prone to shrinking, so it is better to put it in a laundry net and wash them gently in cold water.
When drying, please hang them up to dry.
Kimonos should be taken by a dry cleaner.
