pattern on the yukata. * Megan / New York, USA

are a few pictures of me wearing my first yukata set at the Natsu
Matsuri in Alabama. The yukata that I am wearing has a splash of dark

obi came along with the yukata and was arranged into a butterfly in the
back. The other accessories such as the red ume flower obi belt,
kinchaku bag and koshihimo (which is not seen) was purchased from the
Shimazakura website! I purchased
this yukata while studying abroad in Japan this past summer. * Simone / U.S.A
