Girls shown in traditional Japanese attire at Heart Mountain's Bon Odori Festival, July 15-16, 1944

A yukata is traditionally worn during Bon Odori festivals. The yukata is slipped on like a wrap dress or bath robe, and folded right under left. The obi (the sash used to hold up the yukata) is then wrapped around the waist 3 to 4 times and tied in a distinct bow worn on the back.
