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

A glimpse of old Kyoto unfolds across this finely woven lining, with a scene of the famous Kiyomizu Temple in the hills of Kyoto.  Note the temple deck and the tiered pagoda, both well-known features of this revered place.  In the foreground is a cart and folding fan that add an elegant layer of traditional imagery, with the fan suggesting expanding fortune and prosperity and the cart evoking the refinement of classical court culture.

The outer jacket is classic black silk with five wood sorrel 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.
