The technique used in making the towel designs is stencil printing, the same as that for making yukata, the cotton kimono, usually blue and white, worn for lounging after a bath or for summer festivals, and nemaki, or sleeping kimono. [...] Because they are worn in public, yukata are better made, in fact, made to order (although machine sewn), for $57. Double gauze nemaki for summer are $14.25 and $28.50.
