Yukata material
Yuketa is an unlined cotton kimono used for casual wear in the home and outdoors on summer evenings. The cotton is light in weight and decorated with blue patterns having a very cool and fresh appearrance. There are different patterns for men's and women's yukata the men's having smaller, geometrical designs.
Wherever Japanese people gather together to relax or celebrate, i.e. at hot-spring hotels and festivals, they can be seen in groups all wearing yukata of the same pattern. This is one of the typical sights of a Japanese summer.
