This listing is for a vintage michiyuki jacket, meant to be worn over a kimono. A square neckline, inner ties to keep the hemline straight, snap closure, and a hidden pocket on the right front panel are the specific features of a michiyuki - michi means "street" and yuki refers to "going out".

Pine (longevity), bamboo (resilience), and plum blossom (hope) - the Three Friends of Winter that we often see in Japanese artwork. When combined, these three motifs symbolize overcoming a hard winter and making a new fresh start in Spring. Beautifully rich colors - green, purple, blue, yellow, and red - alternate in horizontal layers along with the stenciled repeated elements. This jacket certainly would catch attention whether it's worn or displayed!

Hidden pocket in the front - perfect to hold glasses keys, or other light items.

Michiyuki are a narrow garment, fastened with snaps that will open if the fit is too tight. (The measurement we give is the jacket snapped closed, so your hips and waist measurement should be several inches smaller than the hips/waist measurement we give.)

Going to display this? We offer wooden display rods in many colors to choose from. Add one from the tab below this description.
