There are two colors, yellow and blue, which are based on the image of the sun, sea, and sky. The fabric is made of theo α, which has high water absorption, which is also used for sportswear, and it is a nice point that it is light and comfortable to wear and can be washed at home.

The yukata expresses the tie-dye that is often seen in festivals and music scenes.
Using the technique of uneven dyeing, all cotton linen fabrics of about 13m per roll are dyed by hand at a workshop in Hokkaido, so you can feel the charm of each one. It’s a bold pattern, but it’s the one that fits in the summer.

A popular squeezing yukata that is also recommended as a summer kimono

There are 3 new patterns (1 color each) of the popular squeezed yukata that are sold out every year.
Among them, “Disco”, which has a charming bright reddish purple color that attracts attention this summer, has a pattern that resembles “Notes” that flows along with the song in a music game, which makes you feel even better.
