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.

The lining of this man's kimono jacket features several elements used in a Japanese tea ceremony;  chawan (tea bowl), chashaku (tea scoop), and chaire (lidded containers). In the background are scrolls and hanging calligraphy art and pine boughs. Translation of one the kanji outside the plaques are ichimi kan (one taste of coldness) which refers to the experience of drinking tea in the winter.

The outer jacket fabric is dark blue with an overall tiny geometric grid pattern.

Unfortunately, there are blemishes on lining, but they do blend in with the design. On the outside fabric there is a hard-to-see blemish. See last photos. Discounted accordingly, but still a work of art.

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