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.

A well-loved and comfortable yukata in a deep indigo blue and cream pattern. The pattern is stenciled but looks to mimic the woven ikat technique. Geometric in nature, this series of squares and dashes could symbolize grains of rice. This kimono is showing its age - note the discoloration areas on the side and the neck of the collar in the last photos. 

We paired this yukata with a hanhaba (half width) obi that is yellow with silver bands. This obi is 5 inches wide and 10.5 feet long.
