This listing is for a traditional underkimono (juban in Japanese) designed to be worn beneath a woman's kimono. 

A subtle pattern with strong visual movement. This juban features a pinkish purple background with a white ripple motif that resembles light reflecting across the surface of water. The repeating wave-like design creates texture and dimension with subtle contrast, giving it a calm but graphic presence. The water inspired pattern is often associated with flow, clarity, and continuity.

There are signs of age with a couple small blemishes, see last photos.

Underkimono make wonderful robes because they are cut shorter than outer kimono, so they do not have the extra length that is typically folded at the waist for traditional dressing. The lighter weight and streamlined shape make them easy to slip on and wear without added bulk. Perfect for the beach, poolside lounging, summer cover ups, or effortless layering at home or out and about.

The belt is not included, but if you'd like to wear or display this kimono with a traditional obi, browse our selection of OBI BELTS. Although it isn't traditional, if you'd like one of our simple cotton sashes to wear with this, we'll choose a complimenting color (see Add a Sash? above).
