 For an excellent 'how-to' do  Arai-Hari oneself, we highly recommend Kae Warnock's Blog, Chocolate Factotum:

Fabric Type: Dark indigo-blue(almost black) background color, light-weight, minimally translucent, slightly stiff from 1960s yukata; Design of the dyed weave is rectangular mesh pattern, elements are 1/8th(.125) inch / 3.17mm and smaller - please see closeups); the patterns are light pale aqua-blue (almost white); Designs same on both sides and selvage 1/4 inch / 6.35 mm on both sides; As indigo-plant dyed, wash separately, multiple times; please see  our care & cleaning tips page HERE.
 
Colors: Please use our text color descriptions to complement your sense of the fabric due to differences in contrast and color on different devices. 

Condition: Excellent.
