The costume of choice for summer festivals is the yukata, which is basically a cotton bathrobe that resembles a lightweight kimono. The yukata was the inspiration for the Hawaiian aloha shirt, which was invented by a Japanese man in 1933.
In Japan, even Colonel Sanders and Minnie Mouse join in the festivities!

I have never seen the colonel like this! Next statue I see around here, I'm throwing a Hawaiian shirt on it.

In winter, he's dressed in a Christmas kimono! Really quite stylish. (I'm suspecting that the Japanese Colonel uses more than 11 herbs and spices.)
