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.

A visual interplay of chaos and control, this yukata features layered calligraphic strokes and grids in shades of blue and white. The decorative writing is hard to decipher - are those actual words or just looping brushstrokes? 

We paired this yukata with a hanhaba (half width) obi that is reversible weave - yellow and black. This obi is 7 inches wide and 11.5 feet long.

There is a light blemish on the front right sleeve corner, see last photo.
