Yukata
The yukata (浴衣) is a casual version of the kimono. It is a robe usually made of cotton or
synthetic fabric, wrapped around the body and fastened with a sash (obi). Yukata literally
means "bathing cloth", and it was originally intended to be just that. Traditionally, the
garment is worn after bathing in a communal bath, functioning as a quick way to cover the
body and to absorb remaining moisture.
Fittingly, the yukata is often worn in onsen towns. In particular, the garment is the typical
dress code for guests at ryokan. Visiting an onsen town can provides the enjoyable
experience of strolling the streets in yukata and geta (wooden clogs), producing scenes
reminiscent of past centuries.
Recently, the yukata has also become a way of dressing for summer festivals. Increasingly
fashionable designs have surfaced to a degree that it is sometimes difficult for the untrained
eye to discern between a yukata and a kimono. Yukata for men generally have darker or more
subdued colors, while that for young women are usually bright and colorful, often with floral
designs. Yukata for matured women tend to be less flashy.

Someday, the two of us will become adults and meet an amazing person
And if we are able to meet here again along with our irreplaceable families, it would be
enough
I remember your smile
Your smile which is like the sky after the rain; your smile which makes my heart feel
refreshed
I remember it and smile
In between so many thousands of points of light this one love was born
We go through these changing seasons looking forward to our own tomorrows
Choosing our own dreams
