"Summer Rain" Vintage Japanese Yukata

This listing is for a woman's Japanese summer kimono - called a yukata. Learn more about this type of kimono below. Simple, graphic, and effortlessly striking, this blue-violet yukata is decorated with rows of repeating white teardrops or water-droplets that create a rhythmic, almost modernist pattern across the fabric. Water-inspired designs are often associated with purity, renewal, and a calm, flowing spirit. 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.
