Joy, even though this was hung with the women’s kimonos, I wondered if it might have originally been a man’s one. I have no idea how to tell, except that the conservative pattern seemed more in line with the textiles on the men’s rack.

The lining is a little torn in places and it’s too small for me to wear as a full dress, but I adore it, and it’s great with the silk obi belt I already had in my closet. Bonus pic: my son’s purchase.
