HOW TO WIN A YUKATA COMPETITION To win a Yukata Competition you need to fulfil the basic criteria of the judges. The Japan Club of Victoria’s Yukata Competition is not a beauty competition, but more a traditional Japanese fashion competition. The emphases here is on tradition. A Japanese girl’s presentation in the Yukata Competition must therefore be in a traditional Japanese fashion style. - Yukata must be of traditional cut and pattern design, but still colorful. - Geta or traditional Japanese sandals must be worn. Modern designs or materials are definitely out. - Hair style should be traditional or at least have the hair worn up. | |
