Nostalgic retro yukata
While bright red, pink, and floral yukata are popular, our shop offers a wide selection of retro-style yukata in more subdued tones. We do not carry lace yukata. These nostalgic designs blend naturally not only with the streets of Asakusa, but also with Japanese cityscapes and rural landscapes. Unauthorized reproduction prohibited.
