・The meaning behind the bamboo pattern

Bamboo grass, along with its length, represents longevity, and is also used to express the wish for healthy growth. Bamboo is a very sacred plant, and it is said to protect against illness and injury and ward off misfortune. The bamboo pattern is a perfect design for a yukata, a summer kimono, and is said to be a traditional Japanese pattern, but it is also a popular and easy-to-choose design.

・When you think of bamboo, you think of Tanabata.

Why is bamboo decorated on Tanabata? As mentioned above, bamboo is a symbol of longevity and is resistant to wind, snow, and heat and cold, and has long been considered sacred. Therefore, people probably hung strips of paper with their wishes to the gods on the bamboo, which symbolizes longevity. It is also said to have been a sacred festival where people would make wishes to the gods on nights when the Milky Way could be seen.

・How to wear it with bamboo patterns.

The bamboo pattern is also popular among men, and our online store, Wargo Nippon, also sells men's bamboo pattern items. We have two types of yukata available: one with a blue and gray base, and one with a gray base. Wearing this yukata will surely make a chic impression on others.

Since it's a patterned yukata, we recommend pairing it with a plain belt! Pairing it with a black belt will definitely make you look cool and mature. If you've always been a friendly person, wearing a bamboo pattern with a black belt will make people of the opposite sex and friends think, "Hmm? You seem a little different today."

・Introduction of bamboo leaf pattern yukata

During the Meiji period, a dyeing method called chusen, which was different from indigo dyeing, was developed, and as yukata could be mass-produced, wearing yukata as everyday summer wear became established. It seems that yukata were worn most frequently during this period. After that, lifestyles rapidly became more stylized, and Western clothing replaced yukata, causing the yukata to gradually decline as everyday wear.
