On a crisp white background, flowers drawn in a blue-purple gradation, perhaps cherry blossoms...
The white of the rabbit leaping against a pale purple moon stands out beautifully.

Although it was unused, I noticed some slight soiling, so I washed it.
It is now clean and refreshed.

I will describe the care instructions below, and I hope they are helpful.

■ About Care

① Spot clean stains with a mild detergent, etc.
② Fold neatly and put it in a laundry net, use the delicate cycle.
③ Spin for less than a minute (stop after about 20 seconds)
④ On a waterproof sheet (like two large plastic bags), refold it neatly, place another waterproof sheet over the whole thing, and weigh it down (for about 30 minutes)
⑤ Hang to dry in the shade on a kimono hanger (indoors with good ventilation is also OK)

This is how I do it.
When I was young, I had my yukata dry-cleaned every time, and the length shrank considerably.
Washing it myself will also shrink it somewhat, but I think it's better than dry cleaning.

You may already know this, but I hope it helps.
