  Comments: 
Add qualifier “for women and children” (as per sources), and examples of kimono, yukata.

I got into some trouble b/c I received a yukata that had such slits, and those knowledgeable about these things teased me, as these are for *women* (I’m male) (the yukata was a bit short and colorful, admittedly).
