This is a vintage kimono jacket, called a haori, made for a man. 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.

The lining of this man's kimono jacket features an elaborately designed hawk, perched on a pine branch, seemingly ready to pounce. Dozens of feathers drawn in several different forms show an attention to detail that suggests an accomplished artisan created the scene. Even the bark on the branches is detailed. 

Behind the scene, you'll see that the cream-colored silk features a tone-on-tone jacquard pattern of ancient kanji characters. This is carried on to the gunmetal gray silk of the sleeve and front bodice lining.

The outer jacket fabric is a tiny honeycomb grid woven in blue and black.  

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