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 a design so complicated that it may take a while to decipher the imagery.  We see a series of items bundled up in elaborately designed fabrics and tied with cording. A money pouch, a wrapped bottle, perhaps a tea caddy - we recognize these shapes but there are two that we can't identify.  The fabric patterning suggests a patchwork that would have been typical in times of austerity.

Behind the bundles is a fog motif filled with a woodgrain design - all this in many warm brown tones. 

The outer jacket fabric is plain black - likely silk but with a cotton feel - and there are several pinholes (see last photo). Still wearable.

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