#yukata
Two yukata coordinations from Tsuyukusa!
Look at the careful way the straps of the geta are coordinated with the ‘highlight’ color of the yukata– especially in the second yukata, they pick up the background teal tone which is also pulled out into the obi color. In the top yukata, white is used as a highlight color against a bold teal and extremely deep indigo color– the flowers seem to glow. They might be chrysanthemums or a stylized daisy.
The stark, blazing white obi lends adult flair to this large-patterned piece. You can see more of it here.
The second one is a bit more festive, utilizing a marbled and chaotic jumble of violet and teal but with a carefully structured pattern of asa-no-ha. The large white triangles of the motif give us a bit of a break from the crazy color scheme. Look at it up close here.

Those of you who like traditional indigo and white yukata may be pleased by this piece from Hong Kong Madam. It has a sweet pattern of vertical morning glories done in deep indigo and a stonewashed blue, climbing over a pure white background.
Paired with a white obi, the yukata seems to sparkle as the white and blue design flickers in and out of your line of sight– the white ‘stars’ in the middle of the morning glories, the little spiraled tendrils, and the even spacing over the white background all work together to give energy in this yukata.
The obi itself has an orange flower in the center, functioning interestingly as an obijime with obi-dome (bead)!
The 3-piece set comes with yukata, obi and geta shoes.

Beautiful handmade Arimatsu Shibori yukata from Hong Kong Madam. All shibori pieces are one of a kind and very expensive. This gorgeous blue and violet yukata is paired with a soft white obi with printed obijime to show off the craft of the tie dye to its fullest effect. Different sizes and patterns of dyeing are combined here to make flowers, water waves and a pattern of soft squares.
The overall effect is of a cold river with violet flowers falling across it, a wonderful image on a hot summer day.
This yukata currently costs 45,278 yen (on sale!) but many shibori yukata are made-to-order from the dyed cloth, so as not to waste any when cutting!
