This listing is for a vintage Japanese casual kimono designed for everyday wear. Learn more about this type of kimono below.

The entire kimono is covered with large, very detailed buildings that include western-style, mulit-story ones as well as A-frames and traditional thatched roof Japanese country homes. The scale, detail, shading, and the mix of building styles begs so many questions about the Japanese artist who designed it.

The color was hard to capture - a soft olive green with the pattern in soft browns. There is a blemish on the back of the right sleeve - see photo.

We wonder if the buildings are based on actual places or come from the imagination of the artist. In any case, it is a fascinating display piece, and we hope it finds a home with a builder or architect who can appreciate all that went into the design.

Casual kimono are often simple patterns or woven designs rather than elaborate motifs. Great for relaxed outings, seasonal festivals, or layered creatively with modern pieces.

The belt is not included, but if you'd like to wear or display this kimono with a traditional obi, browse our selection of OBI BELTS. Although it isn't traditional, if you'd like one of our simple cotton sashes to wear with this, we'll choose a complimenting color (see Add a Sash? above).
