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

With hydrangeas glowing after a summer rain, this charming vintage yukata features cascading clusters of pastel blue, lavender, pink, and ivory blossoms drifting across a rich blue-purple ground. The floral sprays are paired with a stenciled ikat-inspired background pattern that adds depth and movement. Hydrangeas symbolize heartfelt emotions, gratitude, and the beauty of the rainy season in Japan.

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.
