Yukata is a summer kimono made by cotton fabric. It is cheaper than regular kimono (approximately 3,000yen - 40,000yen) and also easier to wear. Traditional pattern is colored an indigo blue on a white background or reversed. Yukata was originaly clothing that should be worn after a bath, but now people wear yukata in case of joining temple fairs, bon dance, firework festivals, etc. Wearing yukata is a trend among young people. *** If you would like to buy yukata, I recommend you to visit Choja-machi area between Sakae and Fushimi. There were lots of kimono wholesale stores in the past. We can still find such stores and buy clothes very cheap ! Discount Kimono and Yukata Shop |
