Sunlit Tangerine Kōshi Michiyuki
A full-length kimono-style jacket in crisp, lightweight cotton and silk lining, woven in a radiant tangerine-orange kōshi (lattice) plaid with delicate white and red cross-threads. The oversized, open-front silhouette features wide sleeves and subtle side slits, creating a relaxed drape that moves gracefully while echoing the clean lines of traditional michiyuki jackets.
The precise plaid weave reflects the enduring Japanese appreciation for geometric patterns, where structure and simplicity meet texture and subtle colour contrast. Lightweight yet structured, this jacket balances traditional form with modern ease, perfect for layering or wearing as a statement piece.
Likely from the late Shōwa era (circa 1960s–1980s), it embodies a period of playful reinvention, where classic kimono shapes were adapted into versatile, everyday wear.
A luminous, wearable garment — vibrant, airy, and quietly rooted in Japanese textile tradition.
