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.

Drape yourself with a pattern that feels alive in motion. This vintage cotton yukata is covered in a mesmerizing cascade of micro lines and staggered marks, creating a look similar to kasuri (ikat) style weaving. The effect is rich, rhythmic, and wonderfully modern, even though the piece carries the charm of mid-century craft. 

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.
