This listing is for a woman'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 vintage cotton yukata combines geometric precision with the soft texture of a stenciled shibori style background, creating a pattern that feels both intricate and complicated. Its repeating hexagon motif -- each filled with a diamond star or floral blossom -- sits over a faux shibori background that gives the fabric a mesmerizing rhythm that looks stunning from any distance. Soft, breathable, and beautiful dye work.

This kimono does not come with an obi or sash, but you can add one of our simple cotton sashes for $15, click the option on the right.
