This is a vintage kimono jacket, called a haori, made for a man. Learn more about this type of garment below. 

Poised and watchful, a powerful bird of prey surveys the landscape from the rugged branch of an old pine in this striking hand-painted haori lining. A hawk is rendered in expressive ink-wash style alongside sweeping pine needles, a classic pairing symbolizing strength, keen vision, perseverance, and longevity. An artist's signature and red seal complete the composition, giving the lining the character of a traditional ink painting.

The outer fabric is solid black silk accented with five paulownia family crests.

The lining of men's haori jackets often depict a scene or motif that was of special interest to the original owner. We often display these jackets inside out to show the lining, and they could be worn this way - inside out - as well; a style that is becoming trendy among Japanese youth. See video below for how haori are worn these days.

If you need a display rod to hang your purchase, we offer 60" wooden rods - see tab below.
