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.

The lining of this man's kimono jacket features a design that you have look at closely to see all the details. From afar you can see the rounded (floral?) wreaths, but a closer look shows that behind them are drawings of what seems to be outlines of pagodas, bridges, huts, and more - almost like a blueprint. Quite unusual.

The outer silk is solid black with a heavy nubby texture to weave.  A single ivy crest is stenciled at the back neckline.

We display these haori inside out to feature the lining when it is unique. All of the stitching is hidden, so these jackets can normally be displayed or worn (in the West, at least) either way.

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

See video below for how haori are worn these days.
