This listing is for an underkimono - called a "juban" in Japanese - which would be worn under a man's kimono. Juban often feature designs that reflect the interests of their owner but are rarely seen in public since they are layered underneath a kimono. Just in inch or two of the over-collar is visible, though you may catch a glimpse of the sleeve edge at the wrist. Juban make great casual robes.

This juban features diagonal bands with wavy edges that appear to be a rippling stream. Rich teal blue "water" alternates with the gray bands filled with small repeat geometrics. Stylized kanji characters float across the bands in yellow and black - some with faux shibori patterning. (Sorry, but we cannot translate the stylized kanji.)

The over-collar is black, and the juban is unlined except for a small white piece at the shoulders. The fabric is a lightweight wool blend - not scratchy. 

Juban make great robes and cover ups but watch the video below to see how to layer the juban with a kimono.

This kimono does not come with an obi/belt/sash but we do make simple cotton sashes that can be added as an option when you order. We will choose a color that goes well with it.

If you'd like to display the kimono, we offer hanging rods in five colors (brown, black, natural, white, and red) - see the Add a Display Rod? tab below.
