This is a vintage kimono jacket, called a haori, made for a man. The lining of men's haori jackets often depict a scene or motif that was of special interest to the original owner. We often display these jackets inside out to show the lining, and they could be worn this way - inside out - as well; a style that is becoming trendy among Japanese youth. See video below for how haori are worn these days.

The lining of this man's kimono jacket features a dramatic scene of a tiger snarling out from the rocky shore, crouched under arching bamboo leaves. Tigers are not native to Japan but are often featured in Japanese art. The detail and brushwork are captivating, as shown in so many of the close ups.  A blend of earthtones with gold accents.

The sleeve lining is a soft gunmetal gray, which carries over to the front bodice.

The outer silk of the jacket is a tiny blue and black grid - a traditional, conservative choice that somewhat contradicts the splashiness of the lining.

If you need a display rod to hang your purchase, we offer 60" wooden rods - see tab below.
