Akikaze (秋風) – Autumn Breeze

Akikaze (秋風) – Autumn Breeze

R1 600,00Price
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.

  • Condition

    Excellent vintage condition — minimal or no signs of age. The garment is beautifully preserved, showing the quality and detail of its original craftsmanship.

  • Sizing

    Kimonos are traditionally designed to be loose and unstructured, which makes them naturally one size fits most. They suit a wide range of body shapes and styles, regardless of gender. The main difference between each piece is the length, so be sure to check the listed length to find the fit and look you prefer.

  • Care Instructions

    Cleaning: Avoid washing your kimono. If you must, dry clean only by a specialist familiar with Japanese textiles. Avoid machine or hand washing.

    Stains: Gently blot stains with a soft cloth; avoid rubbing. Seek professional help for stubborn stains.

    Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Use a breathable garment bag.

    Hanging: Use a wide, padded hanger if hanging to avoid stretching.

    Airing: Air occasionally in a shaded area to prevent odors.
