First worn by Japanese court nobles centuries ago, today the beloved lightweight yukata is often worn to summer festivals, fireworks displays or as simple night attire. Made in Osaka from 100% cotton with a traditional woven flower girl motif. Self belt. Sizing may vary slightly.
Sizes S, M, L, XL.
Museum Provenance
Asian jewelry and apparel are part of the Asian ethnological collection in our National Museum of Natural History.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
Looks so much nicer than a regular bathrobe. Very flattering to the figure also.

Comments about Flower Girl Yukata:
The size seems true but a little large because there is a lot of material and it goes all the way to the floor. The new cotton material is stiff but I expect it will be softer after washing.

I have bought several of these over the years. This makes a great summertime robe. This one is not as generous in the bust area as others I have gotten.
