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

Understated yet elegant, this vintage yukata showcases a deep midnight-blue background accented with crisp white floral bands at the sleeves and hem. The repeating chrysanthemum motifs create a refined border effect, symbolizing longevity, resilience, and enduring beauty while allowing the rich indigo field to take center stage.

There are some signs of age with a few scattered spots, however the darkness of the blue makes it hard to see, especially from a distance.

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.
