Boy's new, cotton yukata - beige brown dragons and tigers

This new, boy's, cotton yukata features beige and deep gray-brown tigers and dragons over a silver-gray colored background. The gray background has a pale green hue. Lighter white-blue hued swirls and brown and violet dots are also throughout the background. This yukata would make a wonderful robe, beach cover or festival attire for any boy.

The exterior of this yukata was created out of a textured, cotton fabric. The fabric has a wonderful, woven, bumpy texture. The cotton is lightweight with a crisp drape that should become more fluid after laundering.

This yukata is not lined and should be worn with an undergarment (nagajuban) or clothing. Please note that some of the darker areas on the back side of the yukata can be seen on the front, through the fabric.

Children's yukata have white ties (himo) that can be used to tie the yukata closed. The left side of the yukata is placed over the right side and the right tie is passed through the gap in the underarm and around the yukata and is then tied. Usually an obi would be placed over this but it is not necessary when using the yukata as a robe.

Please read the dimensions to determine if the size is appropriate for your child.

The last photo shows the color of the kimono most accurately. Crayola brand crayons were placed in the photos for color comparison. Please remember that the silver gray colored background has a pale green hue and appears more or less green depending on the light source.

I believe that the pictures show a good representation of the fabric colors however, please remember that colors may look different on your monitor. Pattern placement may vary.
