What kind of fabric can be used for summer kimonos and yukatas?
Hello. I'm Yukiwa .
This is sudden, but!
Did you know that there is a fabric that can be used for both yukata and summer kimonos?
Maybe there are a lot of them if you look for them...
One of the items we carry in our shop is Awa Shijira weaving.
Awa Shijira Weaving, an intangible cultural property of Tokushima Prefecture
The surface is uneven, so it doesn't stick to your skin, and it's light and breathable.
It is popular as a summer kimono.
Basically, it falls into the category of summer kimono,
It is not see-through so it can be worn as a single layer kimono.
During the height of summer, it is also recommended to wear it as a yukata without an undergarment.
It can be worn for a long period of time and can be cared for by hand washing just like cotton kimonos, or by putting it in a laundry net and washing it on hand wash mode, so it's sure to become a very popular everyday kimono !
Because it is difficult to find a large number of kimonos,
It's helpful to be able to mix and match outfits.
(Some people may think that wearing a kimono as a yukata is a no-no!
Please understand that how you enjoy reused kimonos is a matter of personal freedom.)
The single season starts in June.
Before that, if you ask your nearest kimono shop to tailor it, the delivery time would be about a month and a half.
That means early April would be a good time to start looking.
I was a bit curious, you
