Yukata (casual kimono)

Have you ever heard of YUKATA?
it is similar to kimono, but made of cotton whereas kimonos are made of silk.
yukatas were casual wears in the past.
nowadays, girls wear yukatas for summer festivals.
(the dark purple thing i am wearing in my profile picture is a Yukata)

Yukata used to be a very eco-friendly item.
When you buy a new Yukata, you first use it as a casual wear.
After a while, it becomes a nightwear.
When it is too crimpled to wear, you remake it into a diaper.
And after it is used as a diaper for a while, it will become a rag for cleaning.
Now this is REUSE.

This is possible because yukatas are made with straight cut cloth.
Very easy to remake.

If you have a chance of coming to Japan, try out some yukatas!
