This listing is for a vintage Japanese child's kimono meant for a little boy.  These are rarely worn these days but were commonly used as robes at home up until the 1950s in urban Japan and might still be seen today in rural villages.  See video below for how cute that was and is!

This kimono features a square grid pattern in white against a smooth, tealy blue silk Colored squares in gold and red appear at each intersection. Also look closely to see layered colors on one side of the gridlines to create a shadowy or 3-D effect.

It is still wearable, but please check the measurements - they run small.  A vintage boy's kimono does make fun display pieces in a child's room or anywhere a touch of Japanese decor would liven up the room.

Children's kimono come with two long ties sewn to each side of the front collar.  The right-side tie would be threaded behind the left side, through the opening under the arm, around the back, and tied with the tie from the left side. If you would prefer a casual sash to tie the kimono closed, we offer simple cotton versions as an add-on option at checkout.

We also offer display rods but only in 30" widths (which is too short for this item) or 60" widths (which may be too long unless you have something else to display alongside of it).  If you would like a custom-width rod, email us and we can direct you to a source.
