Michael, WA
"I wanted to be sure and write to thank you for my order. I received my order
earlier than expected, I'm very impressed with the quality and will recommend your site
and service to everyone. Thanks again!" Anna, NM
"I just received a yukata I had ordered (blue pine and crane) and it is just
beautiful. Thanks."
"The Christmas gifts I bought from you were a big hit. The yukata that I bought
for my wife was tried on by almost every member of our family. My son loved it the most
and he loves the clock, its quite a conversation piece. I loved the green tea bags that
you sent, they are far superior to the ones sold locally." Bowden Family
"The Blue Pine & Crane Yukata is perfect! So much more beautiful than the
picture on the internet. I love it." Sincerely, Myrlan, UT

Yukata Clothing 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 clothing in the summer, to
simple night attire. In Japan, the yukata is the most popular daily clothing wear
and is beloved for its 100% cotton fabric with traditional prints and patterns. Our beautiful yukata make wonderful robes and great japanese
gifts.
 About
Yukata and Yukata Belts:
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. All clothing made of
100% cotton, will shrink several inches in length after wash. Length is
measured from the shoulder to the bottom of the yukata.
