So, after a long hiatus, I'm back on my kimono tutorial posts! And today we'll cover the last "basic" type of kimono, the yukata. The term yukata comes from "yukatabira", or "bath underclothes". As one may probably guess, this is the most informal kind of kimono, being used after the bath (commonly at onsen hot spring resorts), as well as for sleeping, relaxing at home or for attending at summer festivals. Dark blue + white are the most classical colors for yukata (also paired with light blue in this yukata from Kimonomachi). Due to it's common use in summer, yukata is often described as "a summer kimono". Althou that is not completely wrong, it's also not ideal as a definition, because not all summer kimono are yukata. Yukata are made of light cotton, with no lining. Other summer kimono are also characterized by lack of lining, but are made from other materials. Kimono summer fabrics, which include gauze-like fabrics like ro and sha silks, are called usumono. Usumono tsukesage from K-Bridal. The gauze-like fabric calls for adequate underkimono (since it shows through). In spite of being transparent and unlined, this is a formal tsukesage - only, made for wearing during the heigh of summer. Therefore, it's not yukata! Apart from the different materials, yukata are also worn in a very relaxed, informal way: often without a juban (underkimono) or tabi (wafuku traditional "socks"). Other summer kimono, on the other hand, may even be made of light, transparent fabrics, yet they are worn more formally, with juban and other usual kimono accessories. From left to right: yukata from Soubien, and usumono tsukesage, from K-Bridal. Both summer kimono, but with different formality levels. The lady in yukata doesn't wear a juban, obi accessories* or tabi - all elements present in the other lady's more formal kimono. Also, the yukata patterns themselves are simpler, repeating all over the fabric in a way that resembles a komon - all signs of a casual style in kimono aesthetics. Different from other kinds of kimono this tutorial covered so far, yukata is not exclusive for females. There are also yukata for men - althou, they have a different shape than the female version, with shorter sleeves. There's also no age or marital status restrictions for yukata, which means, everyone can wear it, from little kids to granny and grandpa. The differences will be in the colors and motifs: as usual in kimono aesthetics, female kimono tend to be more colorful than male kimono. Also, brighter tones and bigger patterns are commonly worn by the youger generations, while more mature wearers go with subdued, discrete fabrics. Male yukata, featuring dark, sober colors - with a youthful touch given by the golden obi. The lack of a juban fits a super-casual look. This kind of fan, called uchiwa, is a traditional summer accessory. From Kimonomachi. Kids wearing yukata. Notice how the girl's sleeves are longer than the boy's - a shape difference in the female and male yukata. When using yukata as a sleeping garment, one will simply tie it with a narrow belt, of the same fabric from the yukata - like in western bathrobes. To wear it in public, thou, it's appropriate to tie it with a proper obi. Beign very informal kimono, yukata are worn with informal obi as well. For tying a female yukata, a nagoya-obi with simple design, a half-leght casual hanhaba-obi, old-fashioned chuya-obi, or even super light heko-obi can all be used. For male kimono, there are only two kinds of obi - more formal kaku-obi, and male-designed heko-obi. Both can be worn with yukata, althou, I think good sense in choosing a casual designed kaku obi is required, so the combination won't look odd - same as with female nagoya-obi. As for musubi (obi knots), the simple bunko and cho musubi are maybe the most popular knots for wearing with yukata. Another common option would be kai no guchi musubi, which is fit for both female and male obi. The classical taiko would be a way too formal musubi for yukata, but it's floppy casual "sibling", tsunodashi musubi (also known as ginza musubi) can be worn. Yukata worn with bunko musubi (left) and cho musubi (right). The main difference between these knots is the bow position, horizontal in bunko and vertical on cho. Couple in yukata. The lady wears what looks to me like a tsunodashi/ginza musubi variation (?). The gentleman wears kai no guchi musubi. Photo: Yoann Gruson-Daniel, in Kimonobsession 47. Another kai no guchi musubi, this time worn by a lady. Since female obi are wider than male obi, the knot ends up with a bigger size. Besides those musubi, yukata also allows one to simply tie their obi in non-traditional ways - specially when wearing heko-obi, which, different from others, is not made from stiff/firm but very soft fabric. This creates a variety of floppy, informal knots that I like to nickname foofy mess musubi (not a proper kitsuke term, thou! lol ;p). Maybe this could be considered a bunko or cho variation (?), but it's one of those heko-obi floppy knots I just like to call "foofy mess musubi". Some girls and young ladies also add a second obi when wearing yukata (or, sometimes, komon). These are short, decorative, often gauze-like sashes named puchi obi, or puchi heko-obi, and are meant to be worn over a regular obi. The addition of a new layer of color and texture, and another bow, makes the overall look to be more frilly. This lady wears a transparent puchi obi over her pink obi. A puchi obi tied in front over the obi, in a bow or flower shape, makes a flashy accessory choice for yukata. From Cream Dress. And this closes the basics about yukata, as well as the basic Types of Kimono topic! For the next topic of these tutorials/articles, I'll be holding a poll in my DeviantArt page, so vote on your favourite subject! * The obi accessories, as obi-age, obi-jime and others will be explained later on this tutorial. ^^ This is also my 100th post on HANAMI! ^^ A big thank you to all my followers!

Since before the Renaissance, art has greatly influenced fashion. From shape, color, texture, period, style and silhouette, fashion designers have looked to art for inspiration. While reviewing the Spring 2010 collection of the talented Japanese fashion designer Tsumori Chisato, I was reminded of the work of French-Ukrainian artist, Sonia Delaunay. I had just been looking at a book of Delaunay's work and could not help but see a visual connection with Chisato's springtime looks. Sonia Delaunay was a pioneer in the Modernist movement in Paris in the early twentieth century. Her paintings, fashion design, and work in the decorative arts were created with a vibrant dynamic of color and geometric patterns. Delaunay's fashion designs were worn by stars like Gloria Swanson, and her theater costumes were commissioned by Diaghilev, for the Ballet Russes. Tsumori Chisato is a graduate of Tokyo's renowned Bunka Fashion College and a protégé of Issey Miyake. She is known for her flirty prints and appliqués. It was fun to imagine Chisato's inspiration for this collection. It might have been the farthest thing from the Paris avant-garde movement, but it was exciting for me to see a connection and to explore more about the synergy of fashion and art. Here are four diptychs showing a piece from the Tsumori Chisato collection on the left juxtaposed with a work by Sonia Delaunay on the right. Do you see the synergy? Footnote: This is a wonderful book about the art and fashion of Sonia Delaunay

Hello all, Today I am going to talk about a type of costume which was found in the southern and western parts of the Karelian Isthmus. The Finns call this type of costume 'Rekko', after the particular kind of embroidery done on the chemise. This embroidery is done on the front just under the collar and results in the opening being on the side, as you can see in this image above. Karelia is a contiguous region, but references to it are complicated, as it is divided into three parts politically. Here is a map showing the various regions of Karelia. The regions of South Karelia [Etelä-Karjala] and North Karelia [Pohjois-Karjala] are within the current borders of the Finnish state. The regions of White Karelia, Olonets Karelia and Ladoga Karelia are within the Karelian Republic of Russia. This also includes the region of Zaonezhia, which lies east of Lake Onega and which is populated solely by Russians, so as to dilute the percentage of Karelians within the Republic. The Karelian isthmus [Karjalankannas] is currently part of Leningrad Oblast in Russia, along with Ingria. The famous Kalevala was written in Karelia. The Karelians are closely related to the Finns, speaking a family of dialects which are considered to be Finnish or a closely related language, Generally, the areas east of the border and Lake Ladoga are considered to speak Karelian, while the areas in Finland, the Karelian Isthmus and the region north of Lake Ladoga are considered to speak Karelian dialects of Finnish. There is also a community of Orthodox Karelians living in Tver' Oblast in Russia. They moved there to escape religious persecution by the Lutherans, but unfortunately they have mostly been assimilated by the Russian population. The Karelian isthmus, along with a strip of territory north of Lake Ladoga was annexed by the Soviet Union from Finland in the 1940's. This land is still shown on Finnish maps. The costume which I will be addressing today was found in various versions in the southern part of the Finnish Karelian Isthmus, together with communities of Ingrian Finns including Tuuteri [Tuutari] in Ingria, which is south of the previous border. This costume is still maintained by the small community of Karelians and Ingrian Finns which remain in the area, as well as by many who now live within the current borders of Finland. The history and ethnogeography of this region is rather complicated, including, besides the Finns and Karelians the Votes, Izhorians, Ingrian Finns, Veps, Swedes, and Russians. For more information see these articles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelian_Isthmus http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ingria http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karelia As you can see from this map, besides Tuuteri, costumes with the rekko are found in the districts of Koivisto, Kuolemajärvi, Uusikirkko, Muolaa, Äyräpää, Kanneljärvi, Valkjärvi, Kivennapa, Rautu, Sakkola, and Metsäpirtti. These have, of course. now all been given Russian names. There are differences of detail between the costumes of the various districts. This costume was also found south of the border in some parts of Ingria, particularly in districts north of St. Petersburg, like Miikkulainen, and Vuole, but also in the district of Skuoritsa, which borders Tuuteri on the southwest, and the district of Tyrö on the Baltic coast to the north and west of Tuuteri [Tuutari]. Here is a photograph of the rekko paita or chemise. This particular example is from Sakkola. The rekko is a center piece in the front of the chemise which is gathered into tubes as for smocking. Embroidery is done across these tubes and onto the neighboring piece of material Here is a schematic of a rekko chemise. Unlike English smocking, the gathering threads are left in place, and the result is not elastic. The design, color and extent of the embroidery varies by district. Here is a closeup of a rekko from Valkjärvi done in orange, blue and white wool. Apparantly the original color of rekko embroidery was golden yellow. Some shade of yellow/orange still seems to generally be the primary color. The side opening is held closed by an engraved silver or pewter brooch, smaller for single girls, and larger for married women. This is the size of brooch which would be given to a girl by her fiance. Here are a few images I took from a Finnish woman's blog showing how she made a rekko from Kivennapa, step by step. She is an amazing seamstress and makes Sarafans as well. Her name seems to be Soja. Here is a link to her blog.It is very inspiring to see her work. http://soja.blogit.fi/tag/rekko/ Here are a couple of closeups of a rekko from Kuolemajärvi. Here is a closeup of a rekko from the district of Tyrö in Ingria. Sometimes you will see one of these costumes made with a fake rekko, substituting it with a patch just sewn onto the chemise, like this example from Tuuteri. This photo is from a catalog of a company that makes mass produced costumes. It is much easier to do this. Here is a closeup of the rekko embroidery from Metsäpirtti.This photo looks like the embroidery was originally done over the smocking and then was cut off and sewn onto a newer chemise. The photo was taken from this webpage, which shows every detail of the Metsäpirtti costume and has detailed instructions on how to make it, in Finnish, [Karelian?]. The images are not of the best quality, but the information is still very valuable and interesting. http://www.metsapirtti.net/perinne/metsapirttipuku/luku6.htm Besides the rekko, embroidery is done on a narrow band or stand-up collar, on the cuffs, and in Tuuteri, Skuoritsa and Tyrö on the shoulders above or below the sleeve seam. In the area from Sakkola to Vuole, a colored strip of printed cotton cloth was sometimes inserted in this seam. See the image above. Here is an example from Miikkulainen. In Ingria, the sleeves are often gathered at the top of the shoulder. This is the collar to the Kivennapa chemise that Soja shows on her blog. On the Karelian isthmus, sarafans were worn in the east and south, and skirts in the north and west. The Rekko costumes are of either type, depending on district. This map shows the sarafan-wearing area shaded and stippled. There are two similar cuts used for the sarafan in this area. Examples from Sakkola An example from Miikkulainen. In Tuuteri and Skuoritsa the upper part is ornamented. On the west side of the isthmus, a skirt is worn, either of a single color, as in Muolaa, or plaid with striped broadcloth sewn onto the bottom hem, as in Koivisto and Kuolemajärvi. In Ingria the rekko costume is also sometimes worn with a skirt. Aprons are either wool or linen, usually with woven in designs, and/or embroidery. The linen aprons often have nyytinki bobbin-lace inserts and/or edging, like this example from Sakkola. Tan leather shoes are worn which are typical of Karelia, and are similar to those worn by the Saami [Lapps], but shorter. They have a distinctive pointed toe. Girls wear a headband or ribbon around the head. In Ingria in particular this was often highly ornamented with beadwork and metal plates. Here is an example from Tyrö. While married women wear a headdress called sorokka, which is made of cloth with embroidery and/or appliqued ribbon, and ties around the head. Here are a couple of examples. Here is what the two constituent pieces look like Here are some more examples of the embroidery on the sorokka. I will close with some photos showing the various forms of this costume in the various districts.

When you think of old photographs, you naturally think in terms of black and white, but as you can see from these stunning photographs from the turn of the 20th century, color photography has been around for a lot longer than you think. Before 1907, if you wanted a color photograph then you basically had to color it in using different dyes and pigments, but two French brothers called Auguste and Louis Lumière changed all that with a game-changing process that they called the Autochrome Lumière. Using dyed grains of potato starch and light-sensitive emulsion, they were able to produce vibrant photographs without the need for additional colorization. Despite being difficult to manufacture and also somewhat expensive, the process was very popular among amateur photographers. Scroll down for a collection of stunning century-old color photographs using their groundbreaking technique.
