Very cool cross-cultural dress I came across on Google: Uber Dandy Kimono's red samakaka yukata

I'd never heard of samakaka print before seeing this online. According to Continent Clothing: "a Samakaka is a fabric or clothing with symbols typically from the Mumuila tribe." and on the Uber Dandy Kimono website it is described as a "tribal Angolan (samakaka) print".

Lately I've found cross-cultural kimono and yukata super interesting, and it feels like its very easy to mix any cultural or popular design into a kimono because there's no requirement for specific colors or patterns.
