How Do You Spell SHUYA?

Shuya is a noun that primarily refers to a traditional Japanese sleeping garment or a nightshirt.

The shuya often has a simple and relaxed design, featuring a loose drape and wide sleeves, allowing for ease of movement. It is commonly worn by both men and women, particularly in Japan.

The term "shuya" originates from the Japanese language, where "shu" means "to sleep" and "ya" refers to a shop or a house. It can also be interpreted as "sleeping garments."

It is often worn in conjunction with other traditional Japanese sleep garments like the yukata or the jinbei, depending on personal preference and the season.
