*Please note: These are authentic Japanese yukata robes, not Westernized kimono-style robes. Yukata have a more cylindrical, slim fit that sits closer to the body. We kindly ask that you please review our return policy before purchasing.

About

Yukata are casual cotton kimono often worn as robes around hot spring towns and at Japanese ryokan (traditional inns). They are beloved as after-bath loungewear and evoke a sense of ease and nostalgia when worn.

The “yu” in yukata means “hot water,” and “kata” comes from the word “katabira,” which means a thin unlined robe.

We love yukata for lounging around the house, especially pre- or post-bath. Try lounging in your yukata after a soak while enjoying a good book and diffusing Amayori’s Home Essence Diffuser Oil.

Provenance: Tokyo

The Maker

Nanafu is a fairly new company which launched around 2021. Based in Tokyo, their yukata are made in a small factory in Asakusa.
