Premium Bandai is listing two special yukata for the many discerning Gintama fans. Rather than being outright replicas of Gintoki’s kimono and the Shinsengumi’s uniforms from the series, both yukata take color and print cues for something original.
The Gintoki yukata includes a fan motif featuring the pattern on his own kimono. The rest of the print includes red, black, and blue dots in varying sizes and small diamond shapes. The set includes a black obi.
The Shinsengumi yukata is black and gold with a yellow rectangle pattern mirroring clasp stitching on the anime characters’ uniforms. The set includes a reversible black-to-grey obi.
Each yukata set retails for 19,440 yen (US$157) and pre-orders are open for both styles. They are expected to ship in August.
