Description: This men’s juban features a dramatic tiger emerging from bamboo within a traditional Sansui mountain landscape, surrounded by rocky peaks, pine trees and a flowing waterfall. The powerful tiger is painted in warm golden tones with delicate gold accents, standing out beautifully against the muted grey and blue scenery. In Japanese culture, the tiger symbolises courage, strength and protection.
The juban has a sophisticated blue-grey bokashi gradient, becoming darker toward the hem, and is finished with a contrasting dark navy collar.
This is a hitoe (単衣), meaning an unlined juban with a lighter and more fluid construction.
Fabric: Soft silk
Style: Traditionally worn beneath a man’s kimono, but its spectacular back artwork also makes it ideal as a contemporary long jacket. Style it open over a simple black or white shirt with trousers or jeans, allowing the illustrated back to remain the centre of attention.
