Description
Transform a weekday shower into something quite special with our purple yukata, handmade in Kyoto from lightweight cotton. Unlike a Japanese silk kimono robe, in modern Japan a cotton yukata would be worn to a special event in summer or at home as a comfy lounging robe.
The print features a red-crowned crane, called tanchozuru in Japan, where it symbolizes good fortune, longevity, and peace. It flies over peony blossoms and cherry blossom branches.
Included belt ships inside one of the sleeves.
Museum Story
The National Museum of Asian Art is a global resource for understanding Asian arts, cultures, and societies and their intersection with the United States. Opened in 1923 as the country's first national art museum, it now stewards one of the world's best collections of Asian art, which date from antiquity to the present, from China, Japan, Korea, South Asia, Southeast Asia, the Ancient Near East, and the Islamic world (including Central Asia, the Middle East, and North Africa). The museum also holds an important array of 19th- and early 20th-century American art of the Aesthetic Movement.
