Traditional versions were indigo and white, and whilst today there are no restrictions on the use of colour, the yukata has not witnessed any great variation in the basic design.  The overwhelming majority employ some sort of traditional pattern such as a flower design or water pattern, with the odd ice cream cone or goldfish.  In 2002, the British design team Bentley & Spens collaborated with Kawashima Textile Manufacturers Limited to produce a range of textiles for the Japanese market.  Bentley & Spens collaborated with Kawashima again in 2003 and for this Collection, they have refined their designs, simplying pattern and motif in line with the demands of yukata production.  This photograph album contains archival material of PR launches and samples from the 2003 Collection.","physicalDescription":"Card and paper photograph album containing photographs of the launch of the 2003 Bentley & Spens Yukata Collection and Exhibition, Japan.
