This listing is for a woman's Japanese summer kimono - called a yukata. Learn more about this type of kimono below.

Like a gentle breeze at a summer festival, this charming vintage yukata pairs delicate pink irises and golden blossoms with traditional uchiwa (paddle) fans scattered across a soft periwinkle-blue background. Geometric pattern panels add visual rhythm and contrast, while irises symbolize courage and protection.

There are some signs of age with some fading along the back seam and an occasional spot.

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

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.
