Vintage Yukata Wide Sleeved Top
This top is made from a vintage Yukata. Yukatas are cotton Kimonos that are worn during summer. Vintage Yukata textile is dyed in the Honzomé method, a manual stencil and resist dye technique developed during the Meiji era.
The design features Koma or traditional toy tops.
Traditionally, Kimonos are constructed from narrow bolts of silk that are cut into eight rectangular pieces, then folded and overlapped to fit the body. At any time, the pieces can be taken apart and sewn back together to accommodate weight fluctuations, or if the Kimono is passed onto another person with different height. This method does not produce any waste. As a nod to this zero-waste philosophy, this top is made using four panels of the main body of the Yukata and features a wide boat neck. The sleeves are extra wide, resembling traditional Japanese garments.
