A man’s Naga-Juban kimono, with fabulous Fujiyama (Mount Fuji) design on back. Mount Fuji is a symbol of endurance and the forge of creativity. The tiger, being a symbol of protection, wards off evil spirits and bad luck.
Hand tailored, like all quality, vintage, traditional Japanese garments, so hand wash only
Synthetic silk. The Japanese excel at making synthetic fabrics. This has the bonus of meaning that it is hand washable
With traditional, raw ended, navy blue han-eri (removable collar, usually loosely stitched on and regularly replaced)
Hitoe (unlined) juban
Made and bought in Japan
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
To wear a kimono closed, you also need a tie belt/sash/obi of some kind. These are always bought separately
Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only

Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes. Because of this (and only really knowing my own size anyway) I can't really advise anyone on the fit. Please judge from the measurements given
