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

Bursting with color against a deep blue background, this vibrant vintage yukata features coral-red and pink blossoms intertwined with bright turquoise foliage and stylized golden butterflies. Butterflies symbolize transformation, happiness, and new beginnings, while the bold, high-contrast palette gives the design an energetic mid-century charm that is impossible to overlook.

There is an 11" tuck at the waist but could be let out if the full length was desired.

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.
