This is a cotton originally was intended to be used to make summer kimono (called a yukata); Fabric is strong, like new, still firm; colors have not faded; NOTE: The contrast of our pictures in left column is slightly under-exposed, so the contrast and degree of brightness shown in bottom-right pics are more representative, ie, the fabric is fairly subdued..
