• Miyatsuguchi (Traditional side opening under the arm): Present

This is a long kimono made of cotton, tailored during the early to mid Showa period.

The outer fabric features calm indigo-dyed stripes.
At first glance, the indigo dye may appear subtle rather than vivid, but wear along the fabric reveals clear evidence of traditional indigo dyeing.
Combined with the sharpness of the stripe pattern, the garment maintains a refined appearance despite being originally intended as everyday wear.

In contrast, the lining is composed of a crazy patchwork made from several different fabrics.
This patchwork reflects practical choices made under the difficult living conditions of the time.
Viewed from a contemporary perspective, the composition and color variations give the piece a distinct and compelling presence.

This garment can be appreciated in multiple ways:

• As everyday wear

• As a historical reference reflecting daily life and clothing culture

• As material for handmade projects or remaking

There are no decorative motifs or symbolic designs.
Instead, the focus rests quietly on the material itself, the dye, the stitching, and the accumulation of time.

This is a long kimono born from everyday life—something that cannot be reproduced today.
