This listing is for a traditional underkimono (juban in Japanese) designed to be worn beneath a woman's kimono. Underkimono make great robes because they are shorter than over-kimono so they don't have the extra length that is folded over to pad the waist. See the video below about how juban are traditionally worn.

This kimono is white silk with a jacquard of snow-covered grasses. In Japanese this snow motif is called yuki and represents an auspicious meaning as snow replenishes the earth for bountiful harvests. 

Underkimono have a basic white collar which would be covered with an embroidered over-collar - the only part of this garment that would be seen by the public.  An over-collar is added to match the formality of the outer kimono. This juban has a simple, plain white silk over-collar.

This kimono doesn't include a belt, but we do offer casual cotton sashes that can be added at checkout.  If you're planning to display this kimono, consider our 60" hanging rods, which can also be added at check out.
