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 waka poetry calligraphy with the stylized cursive Japanese kanji. These short poems often depict seasonal beauty, love, or philosophical reflection. Some of the words here translate to a nature theme - Spring, flower, mountain, snow, heart/mind, and to see. There are small painted images of people amongst the pine and rocks. The background is a marbled gray and appears like a cloudy sky.

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.
