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 an ink-wash style painting depicting classic Edo Period imagery. Mt. Fuji is dominant in the background with scenic images layered on wood block print book pages.

Beautifully painted sailboats, trees, and a castle are among the details. See the artist's signature in the corner. The calligraphy near the sailboats translates to Gojusan-tsugi (53 stations) and refers to "The 53 Stations of the Tokaido" - a famous travel route between Edo and Kyoto.

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

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