Children's Yukata, African Batik, Hitotsumi Kimono, S Size, 100% Cotton, Sunflower Sun [Shoulder and Waist Tuck Service at Purchase] Kids Yukata Specialty Store

● Features A yukata made with African fabric. A vibrant design that resembles both the sun and flowers. As is typical for fabrics from warmer climates, it dries quickly, making it recommended for recent summers with stronger sunlight than usual. It pairs beautifully with bright obi belts in colors like yellow and red, as well as more subdued options like khaki. [Obi is for display purposes only; this is a purchase form for the yukata only] ● S Size / Hitotsumi (approx. ages 1-4 years) The yukata will be delivered after size adjustments (koshi-age and kata-age) have been made. Please select one option from A to E, enter the corresponding alphabet in the order notes section, and proceed to checkout. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52710099674_40fc57fd88_b.jpg If no alphabet is provided, the item will be delivered without any size adjustments.

In Japan, it is common to adjust the sleeve length (yukitake) and body length (kitake) to fit the child's arm length and height. As shown in the photo: - Sleeve length refers to the length of the sleeve, measured from the center back of the neck to the cuff. - Body length refers to the vertical length, measured from the shoulder to the hem. [When worn, the hem will rise slightly due to the bulk of the chest, hips, or stomach. When measuring, we recommend using a soft measuring tape that follows the body's contours.] https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52709274507_5f0d57a67a_b.jpg ● Is there a specific size to choose based on age? Here are photos of two adorable sisters wearing yukatas made from our African fabric. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52709288632_41c962a7a3_m.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/52709288662_e2b2e61dd5_m.jpg For example, the older sister on the left, who is 112cm tall, appears to have a perfect fit in our M size (Yotsumi) yukata, which is designed for 100cm. The younger sister on the right is 92cm tall and is wearing our S size (Hitotsumi) yukata, designed for 80cm. Her calves are visible. For little ones who love observing flowers and animals, wearing it a bit shorter is also very cute. When considering the size, it's helpful to focus on: <The desired length from shoulder to hem> For active children who run a lot: around the middle of the calf for ease of movement. For a more mature and stylish look: around the ankle bone. Feel free to choose based on your preference and convenience. ● Key Points - The basic construction follows traditional Japanese sewing methods (Wasaï, as opposed to Yōsai for Western clothing), but fine details like sizing have been adapted to suit the body types and sensibilities of modern children. A visually noticeable difference is that while many everyday children's yukatas have shorter sleeves, we have intentionally made them longer. We believe that a slightly longer sleeve length is more appealing to children, and it also creates a better visual balance and cuteness if one decides to wear it without the initial size adjustments (koshi-age and kata-age). - Made from cotton, which can be washed at home. While you can certainly take it to a professional cleaner, it is also washable at home. - The garment has an attached tie. Simply put on the yukata, wrap the tie around your waist from front to back, and tie it. Then, tie your own obi over it. (The obi in the photo is for display purposes; the yukata is sold separately.) ● Important Notes for Purchase - Each item is handmade. Hasumaya has obtained national skill certification from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare. We use fundamental sewing techniques as a base, adapting the tailoring methods to modern lifestyles and sensibilities. Some parts are sewn robustly with a sewing machine, while others are hand-sewn for a softer, more natural finish. While perfection is not guaranteed, we hope you will appreciate the warmth of handmade craftsmanship. - Please inspect the item upon arrival. Once you receive your order, please check it within 7 days. If there are any defects or damages, we will address them after confirming the details. - Resale is prohibited. These items are intended for personal use only. Please refrain from purchasing for the purpose of resale to a third party. - The color of the product images may vary slightly from the actual item depending on your computer or smartphone environment. Please be aware of this beforehand. - Washing and color bleeding: The fabric is pre-washed before sewing to minimize noticeable color bleeding. We also use vinegar and salt for color setting, but this is not a strong chemical treatment. Therefore, there is a possibility of color transfer during wear or washing, especially in the initial stages. To prevent this, please wash separately from other clothes, either by hand or in a laundry net. Thank you for reading to the end. 𖡡𖥧hasumaya𖥧𖥣
