This listing is for a vintage Japanese child's underkimono, meant for a little boy.  It would be layered underneath a miyamairi kimono, which is a ceremonial kimono worn for festivals and very special occasions.

This kimono is a simple white synthetic with clouds and a swirling water tone-on-tone woven jacquard. The fabric has a silky sheen and is smooth to the touch. This would be great to display, worn as-is or as a blank canvas for a textile or painting project.

Children's kimono come with two long ties sewn to each side of the front collar.  The right-side tie would be threaded behind the left side, through the opening under the arm, around the back, and tied with the tie from the left side. If you would prefer a casual sash to tie the kimono closed, we offer simple cotton versions as an add-on option.
