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 has the kind of patterning that pulls your eyes in and keeps them wandering like a puzzle you want to solve. The crisp dark, dark blue (almost black) and white pattern forms bands of lattice that create a bold graphic look. Clean lines and minimalist design.

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.
