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 layered bands that seem to connect to each other with a Japanese joinery shape that holds wooden pieces together without nails. Charming motif of small wooden plaques called ema, which are prayer tiles that are inscribed with a wish and left with a donation at a shrine, where they would be burned at a special event. (See last photo.)
Don't miss the lines of gourds or calabash in the background which matches well with the ema as gourds are a motif that brings good luck.
The over-collar is black, and the juban is lined in white. The fabric is a lightweight wool blend - not scratchy.
There is a small blemish on the left sleeve, but still in excellent wearing condition, see photo.
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.
