This is a charming
michiyuki coat from pre WWII.
Paulownia, tachibana(Japanese green citrus), cloud and 'kaioke' (a hexagonal container to store clam shells, which are used ancient shell matching game - 'kaiawase' ) are woven all over it. Some parts are woven with
urushi coated threads.
Sleeves are gracefully long and lining has vivid dyed pattern.
It has some stains, snags and patinas as photos show, but as a whole it is in very good condition.
