NEW Groom's Hakama - $120 includes shipping

ITEM NUMBER: GARHAK
New (not vintage) formal striped version of the traditional pleated pants typically worn by Japanese grooms. Long ties, with deep side slits that create an "open" sizing, skirt style (which makes wearing a kimono underneath more manageable) and a plastic tab that fits into the obi in the back. Longer in the back (45") than in the front (41") to account for the obi bow in the back, the hem should fall between ankle and foot, but they can be worn at or below the waist, which can help adjust the length. (If these are not long enough for you, check out our custom made hakama)

Baby Boy Bundler (apron/blanket) - $45

ITEM NUMBER: 0404Misc1

We've only seen on of these in our ten years at the market. Boy's kimono fabric (with masculine image of drums and mythical symbols) was used to create the top layer, which leads us to belive this was a swaddling blanket for an infant boy. But the shape and ties at the top give it an apron-shape, so who knows? Inside lining is a smooth silk fabric. Thickly padded, in great condition.

Colors:--

Blues, tans, multi

Silk Lined? Yes

Sakiori Summer Blanket - $550

ITEM NUMBER: 0506SummerSakiOri

Wonderful assembly of five rag weave pieces (former obi?) in an array of colors, tightly woven and holding up excellently given the likely age of this blanket (maybe 1950's or earlier?). The backing is a bright orange/red/black plaid cotton, which contrasts with the more natural tones of the top. Sakiori is a rag weave technique used mainly in rural Japan, and common in the pre-and post war periods when materials were scarce and nothing was wasted. The rags for this blanket would most likely have been worn out kimonos. These are hard to find and heavy to ship, but oh-so-nice to have!

Colors:--

Multi-color

Fabric:--

Cottons, wools, and silks

Sakiori Winter Blanket - $600

ITEM NUMBER: 0506WinterSakiOri

The weight and the weave are sure to keep you warm this winter! It's a sakiori blanket made from five panels of rag weave sewn together with a green stripe down each panel. We think this weaving was created as a blanket, rather than former obi panels because of the green bands that create an intentional design. A heavy cotton padding, backing is a cotton maroon, and the layers are tacked with a single quilting stitch. An excellent addition to your collection of Japanese textiles...

Brown Silk Hakama - $60

ITEM NUMBER: 0502HAK1

Make a fashion statement! These pleated pants are typically worn by Japanese men for formal occasions. Deep side slits make them "one side fits all" , with length typically around 34" (that's the outseam (hip to heel), not the inseam!) Colors vary but are typically dark brown. They are available in both pant and skirt style - which still has slits on the side, but no pantlegs, just the skirt. (If these are not long enough for you, check out our custom made hakama)

Colors:--

Dark brown (gray, muddy brown, and gold sometimes available - Email us before ordering to inquire)

Fancy Hakama - $200

ITEM NUMBER: 0403GMisc1

Wide slits at the sides give them a versatile fit. Long ties attached to the back and to the front. Pleats in the front and back. Quite elegant with basic black. Heavy brocaded fabric, pleats in front and back.

Indigo Baby Futon - $250

ITEM NUMBER: 0506IndigoBlanket

Lightweight but warm, this small blanket is pieced indigo cottons on the backside (some are quite faded) and an interesting combination of patterns on the front. Similar color schemes but assymetrical placement. Padded inside with cotton batting (most likely), and tacked with a wide sashiko-style quilting stitche throughout. Small enough to display but still quite sturdy so could be used as a blanket!
