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

Brightly exuberant, this orange and cream juban is filled with elaborate floral balls, cascading ribbons, and open folding fans overflowing with peonies, chrysanthemums, and other seasonal blossoms. Fine stenciled shibori-style dotwork creates the look of intricate kanoko (fawn spot) in the background, while folding fans symbolize an unfolding or expanding future and the abundant flowers bring wishes for beauty, longevity, and good fortune.

There are signs of age, with a few light blemishes - including mottling on the lining - 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).
