Formal Antique Japanese Men's Kimono

Origin: Made in Japan

Composition: 100% pure black silk "Habutae"

The Habutae silk (羽二重) is a type of Japanese silk known for its distinct texture and quality.

Detailed Description

Habutae is a traditional Japanese silk fabric, particularly valued for its lightness, softness, and shine. The term "Habutae" literally translates to "double-layered silk" in Japanese, indicating the method of fabric production.

Characteristics

  • Texture and Appearance: Habutae silk is characterized by its smooth texture and slightly glossy surface. It has a soft and silky feel, making it very comfortable against the skin.
  • Manufacturing: Habutae is woven using specific silk weaving techniques that give the fabric a unique quality. The fabric is often made by tightly weaving silk threads, making it slightly thicker than some other types of silk while remaining light and fluid.
  • Usage: Due to its elegant properties, Habutae silk is commonly used in the creation of traditional Japanese garments such as kimonos, haori, and obis. It is also prized for ceremonial clothing and luxury items.
  • Durability: Although light, Habutae silk is relatively durable, making it an excellent choice for garments that require a certain level of strength while maintaining a refined appearance.

Benefits

  • Comfort and Elegance: Habutae silk offers exceptional comfort and an elegant appearance, ideal for formal and traditional garments.
  • Natural Shine: The silk has a natural sheen that gives the garments a subtle and refined glow.
  • Lightweight: Its lightness allows for great freedom of movement while providing good coverage.

Lining: Navy blue silk

Pattern: Japanese family crest "Maru ni Futatsu Hiki Mon" (丸に二つ引き紋)

The Japanese family crest "Maru ni Futatsu Hiki Mon" (丸に二つ引き紋) translates to "Two lines in a circle." This heraldic symbol consists of a circle, or "maru" (), within which are two parallel lines, called "hiki mon" (引き紋).

Meaning

  • Maru (): The circle symbolizes unity, harmony, and perfection in Japanese culture. It also represents continuity and eternity, suggesting the permanence and cohesion of a family or clan.
  • Futatsu Hiki (二つ引き): The two parallel lines represent strength and stability. They can also symbolize respect and dignity, which are essential values in samurai culture.

The "Maru ni Futatsu Hiki Mon" crest is often associated with prestigious families or clans in Japan, highlighting their heritage and social status. It is used to express family identity and values and is often adorned on traditional garments like haori and kimonos to symbolize belonging and honor.
