This listing is for a man's Japanese summer kimono - called a yukata. These are unlined cotton robes usually worn to casual gatherings or for summer festivals. Yukata are also sometimes offered to guests in Japanese inns and hotels. Yukata are popular these days as bath robes, beach or poolside cover ups, or for Japanese festivals or sushi parties anywhere in the world.

This yukata features several layers of blue with a geometric pattern of overlapping diamonds. This overlapping creates an intricate geometric lattice. Although it is stenciled - or maybe printed - the irregularity of the lines gives it a hand-woven look.

We paired this yukata with one of our casual cotton sashes in light blue. This is a contemporary style belt, not vintage, and is 5 inches wide and 6 feet long.
