Vintage Japanese Kimono Silk Juban (Nagajuban) Worn Under Kimono Red & White Bamboo Pattern Hand Sewn
This exquisite piece has been in our family for many years.
This is a beautiful vintage Japanese silk juban kimono with traditional Japanese bamboo print.
It is a juban (nagajuban) that is worn under a kimono. A juban is just long enough so that it hangs to about 15 centimeters from the floor when put on, while a kimono is quite long, with its length adjusted when being put on. A replaceable collar, conventionally white, is sewn onto the juban.
Absolutely wonderful and in good to fair condition considering its a vintage piece. There are some stains and some flaws. Please see the photos. Many more photos are available.
These are rare and collectable. Totally suitable for framing.

The design and craftsmanship is just incredible.
This gorgeous piece is a bit complicated to be complete to describe.
