A men's silk kimono and haori in grey slubbed weave, the real picture kept on the inside: a lining of Edo lovers in the manner of shunga.
The Piece
Ura-masari shaped Japanese menswear for centuries: the outer coat stayed sober, and the wit went into the lining. This kimono and haori were made to be worn together, both in the same grey slubbed silk.
The haori hides a back lining in the Edo shunga manner: a man and a woman in a close embrace, she in a lavender floral kimono. The kimono has a formal inner lining, hakkake, and a seat patch; the haori opens onto a navy inner collar. A set for the adult collector.
Details
- Type: Men's kimono and haori ensemble
- Fibre: Silk
- Weave: Slubbed, with short dark flecks
- Colour: Grey
- Lining: Pictorial shunga panel on the haori; formal inner lining and hakkake on the kimono
- Measurements: Kimono: length 141 cm (55.5 in), yuki 69 cm (27.2 in), sleeve length 49 cm (19.3 in), front width 26 cm (10.2 in), back width 31 cm (12.2 in). Haori: length 95 cm (37.4 in), yuki 69 cm (27.2 in), sleeve length 49 cm (19.3 in), back width 30.5 cm (12.0 in). Every measurement is taken by hand, with the piece laid flat and the tape read by eye, so please allow a gentle margin of about 1–3 cm (0.5–1 in) for the natural give of fabric, handwork and the human hand.
Condition
Basting threads remain, so the pair may have been little worn. The lining has a stain on the pale ground and browning around the painted frame, with a slight strike-through of the picture onto the outer silk.
Condition grade B (used, good) on the Japanese scale; see Japanese condition ranks, explained.
Authenticity & Care
Every piece carries the Japonista authenticity guarantee. Have it cleaned by a kimono specialist, air it on a kimono hanger out of direct sun, and fold it along its seams for storage.
Delivery from Japan
Packed by hand in Japan and shipped insured and tracked by EMS or an equivalent express service. Import duties and taxes, where applicable, are payable on arrival. Every sale is final; please ask anything you wish to know before you buy, and see our published policy.
Every figure above is taken by hand, in centimetres, and Japanese labels often run a size smaller than Western ones. Compare with a piece you already own and allow a little margin, the quiet safeguard on a final sale. Our size conversion guide sets Japanese sizes beside US, UK, EU and Asian ones, and for anything it leaves open the curator team replies within one Tokyo business day.
