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 flurry of tumbling fan shapes, each filled with one of several different scenes - including a castle, pagoda, bridge, fishing boat - or with elaborate calligraphy. It's almost like a marketing piece for a Japanese travel agency!

The scene background is a very dark blue, as is the outer silk of the jacket. 

There is a bit of blemishing - see last two photos - but feel that it does not detract from its beauty, wearability or display potential.

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