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 has the kind of clean graphic energy that grabs the eye right away, its dark indigo blue and white stripes carrying a steady rhythm while small diamond lattice motifs hover like floating windows. The look is crisp, summery, and quietly traditional, perfect for festivals or easy everyday lounging. A sharp and balanced design.

Unfortunately, there are some small blemishes and light discoloration, see last photos, but still in very good vintage condition.

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