KIMONOMACHI, a Japanese clothing brand from Kyoto, a subsidiary of Hosai Co., Ltd. (Kyoto Kimono Machi Co., Ltd., Kyoto City, Kyoto Prefecture, Representative Director: Kazufumi Kubomura), will begin accepting pre-orders for junior sizes (140 and 150) for girls from the "2026 New Collection KIMONOMACHI Original High-Performance Polyester Yukata" on March 30, 2026 (Monday) via the online store "Kyoto Kimono Machi" (scheduled to ship in late April). We have previously offered a wide range of polyester material women's yukata, but in response to customer feedback that "junior sizes (140 and 150) for children are scarce in the market," we are launching these new junior sizes. These yukata feature sophisticated designs shared with adult women's yukata, allowing for enjoyable matching outfits with family members.


Reason for Development: Girls' Yukata in "Sizes 140 & 150" Scarce in the Market

Referencing "Real Customer Voices"

The junior generation (sizes 140 and 150), from upper elementary school to junior high school, is a very difficult age for sizing, as adult sizes are too large and conventional children's sizes are too small. There are few yukata available in these sizes in the market, and we have received many complaints such as "There are no perfectly fitting sizes" and "I can only find childish designs." Therefore, KIMONOMACHI has developed "Junior Size Yukata" for the 2026 new collection, using the same material and patterns as our popular high-performance polyester yukata for adult women. This collection is designed to satisfy girls who want to feel more grown-up.

About KIMONOMACHI Yukata

Original Designs and Wide Size Range Available Only at Our Store

KIMONOMACHI has been creating original design yukata for over 15 years. We annually release collections that combine customer feedback with our staff's passion, meticulously crafted as a Kyoto kimono shop.

Proposing Stylish Coordinate Sets for Beginners

"I want to wear a yukata, but I don't know what kind of obi to pair it with..." "I'm worried that my chosen combination might look out of place..."

For such beginners, KIMONOMACHI offers "Yukata Coordinate Sets" where our design team carefully selects the best combinations from a wide range of items.

From obi color pairings that maximize the charm of the yukata's pattern to the compatibility with "shibori heko obi," every detail is meticulously calculated for professional styling. Even without knowledge of Japanese clothing, you can achieve a sophisticated and stylish yukata look that stands out by simply wearing the set as is.

Features of High-Performance Polyester Yukata

Recommended for Those Who Get Hot! "Non-Sticky" Quick-Drying Material for Comfort Even in Midsummer

We use a high-performance polyester material that defies the image of yukata being hot and stuffy. With excellent water absorption and high moisture diffusion, it dries quickly even when you sweat, reducing uncomfortable stuffiness in midsummer. Furthermore, its straight silhouette creates a natural, effortless look just by wearing it.

Machine Washable at Home! Easy Care with No Ironing Required

This solves the common problems associated with Japanese clothing, such as being difficult to handle or troublesome to dry clean every time. Not only can it be easily machine washed at home, but the wrinkle-resistant material means no troublesome ironing is needed. Moreover, thanks to the excellent quick-drying properties unique to polyester, it dries so quickly that it can be hung indoors at night and be dry by morning (according to Kimono Machi staff). It's a stress-free yukata, perfect for summer events where you sweat a lot, consecutive outings, or for wear during travel when you want to clean it immediately.

Night Leaf Sound, Dark Navy

Link Coordination with "Adult Designs" for Mom and Dad

The junior size yukata are available in the same 4 patterns and 2 color variations each (total of 8 types) as the adult women's yukata. Furthermore, two of these patterns ("Lantern" and "Night Leaf Sound," each in 2 color variations) share designs with the men's yukata, allowing for full enjoyment of "link coordination" (matching outfits) not only with mothers and sisters but also with fathers. The designs, featuring decorative and delicate illustrations finished in simple two-tone colors, are beautiful for women, perfect for girls who want to feel grown-up, and exude a cool, sophisticated taste for men.
