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

A striking mixed-technique lining frames Mount Fuji as the heart of the landscape with sailboats crossing rippling water beneath the snow-capped mountain. Painted side panels extend the panorama in expressive black ink with rocky waves and foliage on one side and distant mountains, pines, and flying birds on the other, creating a beautiful contrast between detailed weaving and loose brushwork.

The outer jacket is classic black silk with five three-leaf family crests.

Signs of age are present, including scattered blemishes to the lining and small holes around the back neck crest, see last photos.

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.
