Crafted from indigo-dyed cotton and hand-sewn in a private household, it was made not for mass production, but for real work — built on a foundation of practicality and durability that still speaks clearly today.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Rare Kasuri Composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat sets this piece apart is its exceptional ikat (kasuri) pattern. At the center sits a traditional \u003cem\u003eigeta kasuri\u003c\/em\u003e (well-frame ikat), surrounded by an irregular, repeating geometric motif rarely seen in standard kasuri weaving. The result is a quietly striking rhythm — understated, yet impossible to forget.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition \u0026amp; Provenance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSourced from the Tohoku region of Japan, this piece shows relatively light wear for its age. Rather than a textile already fully \"finished\" by time, this is a garment you can continue to shape — deepening in character with every wash and every wear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have laundered this piece twice in-house. Please note that, as with all vintage textiles, a faint aged scent may remain. This is inherent to antique fabric and is not considered a defect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Wear It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally designed as workwear, the noragi translates effortlessly into contemporary everyday dressing. Layer it over a T-shirt, denim, or even a jersey — or wear it open like a summer aloha shirt. Its relaxed silhouette and \u003cem\u003emiyatsuguchi\u003c\/em\u003e (side-body openings) allow for natural, unrestricted movement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Those Who Choose Slow Fashion\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis piece is for those who believe clothing should be lived in, not just consumed. If you value slow fashion, slow living, and the quiet craft of handmade things — this noragi will grow with you, softening and deepening with the rhythm of your daily life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/noragi\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Shop All Noragi – Japanese Vintage Work Jackets | NAMBA SHOUTEN\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e→ Explore more Noragi in our collection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eItem Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Showa Period (approx. 1950s–1960s)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cotton\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDyeing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Indigo (Ai-zome)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hand-sewn\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Igeta Kasuri (irregular ikat)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFeature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Miyatsuguchi (side-body openings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tohoku Region, Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMeasurements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePart\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ecm\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003einches\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Length (back collar base to hem)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 66 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 26.0 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eChest Width (underarm to underarm, straight)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 23.6 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShoulder Width (shoulder to shoulder, straight)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 60 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 23.6 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve Length (shoulder point to cuff)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 31 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 12.2 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSleeve Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 29 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 11.4 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCuff Width\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 19 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eapprox. 7.5 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e* Measurements are approximate.
