This listing is for a vintage Japanese kimono. These lightweight, unlined cotton kimono were made for informal, everyday wear, with breathable construction well suited to warmer weather. Indigo-dyed fabrics and kasuri (ikat) weaving were commonly used for practical garments, creating durable textiles with distinctive softly blurred geometric, floral, and nature-inspired patterns.

A charming little indigo kimono with a beautifully graphic mix of traditional symbolism and geometric design. Cream ikat-woven lines form a fine grid across the deep indigo cotton, punctuated by repeating pine, bamboo, and plum motifs, the beloved Three Friends of Winter symbolizing resilience, steadfastness, and renewal.

Tuck at each shoulder, but they can be removed if more width is desired.

Signs of age are present, including scattered blemishes and worn, tattered ties that can be removed.

Vintage Japanese children's kimono make eye-catching displays in spaces too small to accommodate a full-sized kimono. We offer display rods (click the tab below) if you're going to display this kimono.

If purchasing this to be worn, please check the measurements given carefully.  Children's kimono run small!
