Rumi Rock specialise in hand-crafted yukata that combine Edo-period skills and sensibilities with a gothic edge. Founded by designer Rumi Shibasaki (b.1963), Rumi Rock is proudly located in Yoshiwara, the former licensed pleasure quarters. This design is a feat of stencil-cutting by Shibasaki’s collaborator Kaneko Kazuaki (b.1969). At first glance, the motif appears to be waves, but is actually Edo-period hairstyles.
