This listing is for an underkimono - called a "juban" in Japanese - which would be worn under a man's kimono. Learn more about this type of kimono below.

In this Year of the Fire Horse, this juban is especially collectible!  A spirited white horse takes center stage on this striking gray-blue men’s underkimono, accented in deep red, blue, brown, black, and touches of gold. The richly ornamented horse is captured mid-stride with its mane and tail flying, an energetic image associated with strength, endurance, freedom, and forward momentum. 

Kanoko (fawn spot) shibori pine lozenge shapes and drifting cloud shapes are scattered across the otherwise solid background. This kimono has a dark blue over-collar.

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 an 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 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.
