A kimono is always closed left over right. The other way round is reserved for the dead – a mistake tourists frequently make and which is noticed at once in Japan.

It is rarely worn day to day, but remains usual at weddings, coming-of-age ceremonies and festivals. The lighter cotton yukata belongs to summer festivals and fireworks.
