Women's Happi Kimono – Noshi

Japanese Happi Kimono for Women, Mid-Length, Noshi Ribbon Pattern in Blue and Gold

Every ribbon running across this happi holds a different traditional Japanese pattern — cherry blossoms, chrysanthemums, asanoha or kikkō — and it's their very length that gives the noshi pattern its association with longevity in Japan. This happi, a traditional short kimono, falls to the knee, its wide sleeves cut into square panels. The sash is cut from the same ornamental blue fabric, highlighted with gold, so it never clashes with the overall harmony. It works as an everyday loungewear jacket, but its wealth of patterns makes it dressy enough to wear open over a simple outfit for a traditionally-styled gathering.

Fits women between 155 and 175cm. The model is 163cm.

Note: The sash is looped through the kimono's tab.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

To look after your garment, wash it separately the first time at 40°C. Air-drying is best — avoid the tumble dryer. Don't use bleach, to keep the colours intact. Ironing on a medium heat is recommended. The fabric is designed to resist shrinkage, so your piece will last.
