Kimono for a new daily life, worn like a white shirt
THE YARD adheres to the brand concept of "kimono for a new daily life, worn like a white shirt," aiming to establish a new "kimono culture" that blends into contemporary lifestyles and culture. While cherishing the traditions and charm of kimono that can only be realized in Japan, the brand proposes attire that is close to daily life.
THE YARD 2026 Spring/Summer Collection / Usu-rahi (Thin Ice)
For this season, THE YARD has crafted items using abundant linen materials, which provide comfort in spring and summer. Linen, a plant-derived natural fiber existing alongside Japanese culture, clothing, food, and shelter, is a popular material year-round, but its comfort is best enjoyed in spring and summer. It is characterized by its refreshing touch with excellent breathability, moisture absorption, and quick-drying properties, offering a cool feeling in the height of summer.
This season features rich craftsmanship from various regions, including Omi Chijimi from Shiga Prefecture, linen shibori dyed in Arimatsu Narumi with shibori techniques performed in Cambodia, dyed linen yukata finished in Ishikawa Prefecture, and obi woven by combining linen with different materials such as Japanese paper and silk in Yamagata Prefecture.
Furthermore, some of the yukata and obi this season are named after words one might want to say even in the height of summer, amid the sounds of cicadas, with the desire to deliver a cool atmosphere along with comfort. Please enjoy the refreshing coolness, even from the ears.
