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

Graceful columns of stylized maple leaves flow down this yukata in deep indigo against white, with soft pink accenting that creates a striking vertical design. Maple leaves symbolize beauty, change, and the passing seasons, while the cascading arrangement evokes leaves drifting along a forest path or stream, giving the piece a serene yet graphic elegance.

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.
