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.

This dignified men's haori jacket combines artistry and tradition in a masterful depiction of fan motifs. Two open sensu folding fans reveal intricate painted scenes: one showing a samurai on horseback with attendants crossing pine-dotted hills, and the other a tranquil winter landscape with a thatched house beneath snow. The overlapping fans rest on a backdrop resembling reeds or falling leaves in muted shades of gold, brown, and gray. 

The outer jacket fabric is black with a single stitched floral crest.

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