Akikaze (秋風) – Autumn Breeze
A lightweight hitoe kimono in a soft, cotton-silk blend, woven in earthy browns, warm oranges, and muted greens that evoke the gentle drift of autumn leaves on a crisp day. Subtle seasonal motifs are embedded in the fabric, creating quiet texture and visual interest without overpowering the serene palette.
Likely from the mid-Showa era (circa 1950s–1970s), it reflects a period when casual kimonos embraced soft, natural hues and subtle seasonal patterns for everyday elegance.
A kimono of understated warmth and seasonal grace — the Akikaze captures the calm, fleeting beauty of autumn in both colour and texture.
Excellent vintage condition — minimal or no signs of age. The garment is beautifully preserved, showing the quality and detail of its original craftsmanship.
