Wearing a yukata 浴衣, a casual unlined kimono made of cotton or synthetic fabric, is one of the joys of summer for many Japanese people. They are typically seen at fireworks, summer festivals and even sometimes as everyday fashion. For foreigners, renting a yukata can be a great way to experience Japanese culture. Since they are far less expensive than formal kimonos, yukata are also easier for tourists to purchase and use while they are in Japan or on special occasions in their home countries.
For those with more generous figures, however, finding a yukata which will look good on them can be a challenge. Plus size yukatas are not easy to come by. Thankfully, there's a perfect opportunity this summer from July 20th to August 6th at Umeda Hankyu in Osaka. The famous department store will be having a "Hankyu Summer Fes" featuring a collection of plus sized yukatas in several cute patterns from Kimonomachi. And if you're not in the Osaka area, you can still buy one online and have it delivered to your address.
