This listing is for a padded vest that was no doubt part of a matching kimono set from the 1950s or likely earlier. We don't see many of these, but they make eye-catching displays of Japanique art in small spaces. Vests like these would have been worn over a kimono to keep the child warm, since most rural Japanese houses still had paper doors.
A flock of cranes dive, float, and fly against a background of purple clouds and a grid pattern. Some of the cranes are white, as is typical, but others feature a rainbow of colors we don't often see.
There is a small tear at the lower back (see photo), but it could be repaired if need be. The vest could be displayed from the front or back.
