Yukatas in Edogawa
The other day in the Hanabi in Edogawa I had the chance to take quite a few pictures of people wearing yukatas. This light traditional garment can be usually seen in summer, usually in traditional festivals (Matsuri). Apart from being used in summer matsuris, yukatas are also usually worn when going out of the bath in traditional hotels (Ryokan) and at home. In fact yukata in Japanese means literally “bath clothes” (浴衣: bath,clothes)

Awesome pics. I love yukatas - they are so elegant and lovely. I keep trying to get my wife to wear one but she won’t go for it

Excellent pictures. From pictures it seems as though there were only few people wearing these, though. So, are they getting out of fashion in Japan? I hope not.
