This listing is for a vintage michiyuki jacket, meant to be worn over a kimono. A square neckline, inner ties to keep the hemline straight, snap closure, and a hidden pocket on the right front panel are the specific features of a michiyuki - michi means "street" and yuki refers to "going out".

This michiyuki is a retro-lover's dream!  The wild, undulating bands create rhythmic waves that are simply mesmerizing.  The arrangement of the waves in bands adds another dimension to the design and movement of the piece. We believe that the curves and dots were painted by hand.

Look closely to see the subtle tone-on-tone echo of the wave design woven into the jacquard silk. 

Hidden pocket in the front - perfect to hold glasses keys, or other light items.

Michiyuki are a narrow garment, fastened with snaps that will open if the fit is too tight. (The measurement we give is the jacket snapped closed, so your hips and waist measurement should be several inches smaller than the hips/waist measurement we give.)

Going to display this? We offer wooden display rods in many colors to choose from. Add one from the tab below this description.
