In recent years. the yukata has been known to be a symbol of summer, Worn during natsu matsuri (summer festival), it is also for symbol of youthful exuberance. Having less rules in its essembly than the more formal cousin, the kimono. The yukata has been experiencing growing popularity with the youth. Festivals such as the Hamamatsu Yukata Festival has been created due to the growing interest in yukata. Hence this workshop aims to cover a short history of the yukata, showcase trends that have been seen over the recent years, show people how easy it is to wear the yukata, and hope to expand the yukata and kimono experience to the public.
