Folding Fans Fantasy JUBAN with Traditional Motifs
This ultra-luxurious men's juban is the perfect kimono to wear outdoors or as a comfy robe. The soft lining will keep you warm and the silky outer-fabric has a handsome sheen.
The marbled gray surface is interrupted along the bottom-middle by a geometric pattern of white diamonds, then gives way to a graceful scene upon the back. A decorative snowflake displays overlapping waves and chrysanthemums while a giant striped triangle frames a lovely folding fan.
Little birds look for food after a snowstorm, while underneath, maple leaves are carried by a stream. A lucky gourd and rice bowl appear at the bottom.
