'Aomado' Yukata
$60.00 $120.00
-
This vintage 'Blue windows' Yukata or lightweight summer kimono made from quality cotton shows off a wonderfully intricate geometric pattern which, on close inspection, presents as tiny windows. Perhaps when open they allow a cool breeze in on a hot summer's day.... ok , so we're clutching at straws - it may well be just a pattern with no meaning at all but we can't help but revel in the romance of vintage .
In excellent condition apart from one line in the pattern at the back on the garment which we believe was an issue with the original screen-printing - it is simply not quite as white as the rest of the fabric.
Note - Please Read before purchase:
Vintage Yukata are generally made, for wearing traditionally tied with a sash, on smaller framed, not too tall bodies. Newer items come in larger sizes.

'Chiisai Hako' Yukata
Sold Out

This handsome 'little boxes' Yukata (summer kimono) in dark indigo and white vintage cotton is specifically light weight due to Kyoto's very hot and humid summers - making it an excellent dressing gown or bathrobe in the warmer months.
Taking into account its age, this piece is in very good condition apart from a few small spots of rust coloured stainage on the back of the yukata at the left hand side seam. It's barely noticeable and we think it gives character through its history - let's call it wabi sabi...
Adding to the allure is the the name of the previous owner, hand-stitched in red inside the collar in Japanese characters.
We are so drawn to this geometric pattern, rarely seen in modern day yukata, that if we had a spare wall we know where this baby would end up.

'Fuji' Yukata
Sold Out
-
No, not the sacred Japanese mountain.... Fuji is also the word for 'Wisteria' in Japan. This vintage cotton summer kimono features branches of pretty clumping white wisteria flowers swaying in the breeze - screen-printed against the clear, mid-indigo blue sky backdrop. Wisteria blooms in very late spring to early summer in Japan hence their appearance on this lightweight summer kimono or yukata. It is also the symbol of new life.
Excellent condition.
