Geometric Wagara Hitoe Juban

Description: This men’s hitoe juban is a refined example of traditional Japanese craftsmanship, made from very high-quality cotton. The unlined body provides a lightweight, breathable feel, while the sleeves are double-layered, enhancing structure and comfort. The fabric features a striking patchwork of traditional Japanese patterns (wagara) arranged in a geometric hexagon layout, incorporating motifs such as Kikko (tortoise shell), Ichimatsu (checkerboard), and Mame Shibori (tiny tie-dye dots).

The collar is made of synthetic navy blue silk, offering a subtle contrast and polished finish.

Symbolism: Each motif carries auspicious meaning: Kikko represents longevity and stability, Ichimatsu signifies continuity and prosperity, and Mame Shibori embodies health and diligence. Together, the patterns form a harmonious design symbolizing long life, good fortune, and well-being.

Fabric: High-quality cotton for the body, soft and durable, with a double-layered sleeve construction. Collar made of smooth synthetic navy blue silk.

Style: Men’s hitoe juban, suitable as an under-kimono or for layering in casual or semi-formal settings. The geometric arrangement of traditional motifs gives it a sophisticated, timeless character.

Condition: Very good condition. The cotton remains soft and intact, the patterns are vibrant, and the collar is well preserved.
