Why is Yukata so popular? How to get it cheaper except in Japan?

2018-08-24

Yukata Picture

Yukata comes from the word “yu” (bath) and “katabira” (under clothing). In the Heian era (794-1185), court nobles wore linen “yukata” after taking a bath. These robes were loosely draped . The yukata was later also worn by Japanese warriors and by the Edo era (1600-1868), it was widely worn by the public when public bath became a popular recreation in Japan.
