Yukata
"The name 'yukata' comes from the word 'Yu'(bath) and 'katabira' (under clothing). Thousands of years ago, Court Nobles wore linen 'Yukatabira' draped loosely around the body after taking a bath. It gradually became worn by Japanese warriors and then public bath became popular. Today, the traditional Japanese yukata are widely used for everything from dances, casual clothing in the summer, to simple evening wear. The Yukata is a full length robe garment designed for lounging in a casual atmosphere. |
