A vintage mens cotton muslinjubanwith a bold printed repeat design featuring a swooping hawk and pine tree motifs which would make a stylish wrap for either a man or a woman.
The boldness, keen eyesight and predatory nature made taka or hawks appropriate symbols for the Japanese warrior class & were subsequently adopted as traditional male symbols. This unlinedjuban is in excellent condition & has a navy blue silk collar.
In contrast to women's kimono, men's kimonos are typically in subdued, darker colours with subtle patterns and textures, however thejuban, worn as a secondary layer under the kimono is often richly patterned or may have a hand-painted design.
