- A gorgeous, child’s kimono & hifu (waistcoat), with cute gosho ningyo (imperial dolls) on the hifu. They are slightly padded and very cozy. Would make a wonderful gift for a new baby
- Synthetic rinzu silk, so hand washable. The Japanese excel at emulating silks
- Fully lined
- Made and bought in Japan
- The kimono is fastened with the attached ties. You thread the tie on the inner (right) front edge out through the armhole and round to the back, then take the one on the outer front edge round to the back and tie them. An obi/sash is usually worn on top, such as a soft heko obi
- Japanese children wear their kimonos with big tucks loosely stitched on the outside of the shoulders, which narrows them.
- The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition. Some of my Japanese garments have large, white stitching (shitsuke) round the edges. The Japanese put these stitches in to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment
Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only
