Description
 
This listing is for a vintage happi coat - typically worn for parades or festivals, and usually decorated with auspicious designs or kanji that refer to an event sponsor, community organization, or even the town government.

The background is white with a pattern of floating 5-star crests (komon) in red and kanji writing in dark blue.

On the front collar is blue with white kanji lettering that can be translated as ""Osaka Shorin Bookstore" .

Watch the video below on the Gion Matsuri - a summer festival in Kyoto that features huge parade floats pulled by (mostly) men in happi coats! The coats are also worn by observers along the very crowded sidewalks!
