Do you know the origin of YUKATA (summer kimono)?? words.marugotoweb.jp/search_detail.php?id=2102,979&p=1&q= It is said that the word YUKATA comes from YU-KATABIRA（湯帷子、ゆかたびら）, which was worn by the nobles in the Heian period in the occasion of bathing. Since the steam bath was common at that time, they used to put on the YU-KATABIRA to absorb sweat or prevent from scalds. As time passed, in the latter of the Edo period, YUKATA had widely spread to common people and gradually changed its usage from the former bathing-suit into townwear. It became more and more affordable and fashionable at the same time, which enabled people to enjoy YUKATA more easily. Nowadays, YUKATA is considered as an icon for Japanese summer, stylish traditional garment which can enjoy casually. It is also popular among Japansese young men these days as a cool summer item.
