This is a vintage men's juban(undergarment) . It is made of plain silk and has soft and smooth touch.
Please enjoy its cheerful pattern!
Some are in kimono and some are in western style clothes. There are colorful balloons at a stall, and a pinwheel in child's hand. Mysterious but funny fortune teller is waiting for his customer behind a tree. One is doing his thrilling performance in the canopy of circus! This is a scenery probably from Meiji period(1868-1912). It is lovely and even sounds may be able to be heard.
It has some flaws from its old age. The lining is discolored prominently. There are some small holes (G)and stitch is coming loose(F)
There is wear on the lapel. Triangles on the figure(photo D) is whitish mark maybe caused by fray. They are not so disturbing.
As a vintage juban, its right side is in very good condition. Please check details with photos and the figure.
