Yukata History
The name "yukata" comes from the word "Yu" (bath) and "Katabira" (under-clothing). Thousands of years ago, Court Nobles wore linen "Yukatabira" which were draped loosely after taking a bath. It gradually became worn by japanese warriors and then by the general public when the sophisticated japanese public bath became popular. Today, the traditional japanese yukata are widely used for everything from dances, casual wear in the summer, to simple night attire.

In Japan, the yukata is the most popular daily summer kimono wear and is beloved for its 100% cotton fabric and traditional prints and patterns.  All yukata's are made and imported from Japan, 100% cotton, includes matching belt and full length in size. Japanese yukatas are one size fits all and measured in length. Length is measured from shoulder to the yukata bottom. Our beautiful yukata make wonderful robes and great japanese gifts!

All of our japanese clothing are made and imported from Japan and includes a matching 1 1/2" sash belt and full length in size. For normal daily or night attire, just the matching cotton sash which is provided with the yukata is worn. For public occasions a larger wider obi belt as shown in the picture on the left is worn. The wide obi belt is simply wrapped around the waist and tucked in at the edge. When shipped - all matching sash belts are stitched into the sleeve or collar. We now offer wide obi belts and butterfly obi belts for formal use or public appearances.
