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 yukata features a floral motif we haven't seen often - Lily of the Valley! The pattern looks to have been dyed with a stencil - blue and chartreuse flowers in white leaf shapes against a red background.

We sometimes offer casual hanhaba (half-width) obi in our shop if you'd like something traditional but we also offer a simple cotton sash for $15 that can be added to your order by clicking the option above. We'll choose a color that goes with the yukata.

Yukata, like silk kimono, tend to be longer than expected - so we offer an option (above) to have it shortened to cocktail length (45") and include a simple cotton sash for $35.
