Yukata Robes

Yukata Robes are among our broad selection of Japanese gifts and Chinese gifts.

What is a yukata? A Yukata is a traditional Japanese clothing that is most commonly known as summer robe. Its name, Yukata, is derived from the word yukatabira, which translates to bathing clothes, as they were first used as such by noblemen.

While looking pretty much alike as the kimono, a yukata is generally lightweight and a lot more casual than the kimono because it is usually made from either cotton or synthetic fiber, rather than silk, and unlined unlike the kimono. Although different, these two cultural symbols of Japanese clothing both employ obi - a sash or belt- and geta - elevated thronged sandals.
