This listing is for a unisex kimono likely made for a young child in the 1950s or earlier.  You may have seen photos of Japanese children in pre-war Japan wearing similar kimono.

A charming glimpse into everyday life of the past, this unisex child's kimono is woven in classic indigo kasuri stripes, offering quiet beauty with thoughtful, work-ready construction.

 Designed for movement, it features reinforced stitching beneath the arms and a short-split hem that allowed young wearers to play, help, and grow comfortably throughout the day. One of the splits at the hem has become unstitched further, see last photo, so would need repair if desired.

See the video below about the indigo dyeing process.
