With variegated color tones in the leaves and petals, this is an exquisite hand-dyed yukata cotton. The palette is unusual yet highly compelling.

The palette of this quiet yet bold yukata cotton is intriguing. I like the dark blue leaves and the spots of glowing violet with the charming little flowers.
