The local pro-soccer team, Avispa Fukuoka, debuted eight yukata gowns. The traditional summer apparel represents the team’s determination to play hard for its fans this season. The special machine-washable garment made by a kimono-maker is available online and at some stores, and the actual items are exhibited between Apr. 9 ~30 at Hakata Marui 4F. Source: Avispa
