Purchased at a Kyoto antique market over 20 years ago. It is believed to be from the late Meiji to early Taisho era. I had it displayed as an interior item in my room, but due to moving and lack of space, it has been stored for a long time. When I search "Higashi Tsukiji Nanyokan" on the web, I find historical information about a large restaurant and inn that was located in Nagoya at that time. Indeed, it looks like a happi coat that the employees of a restaurant and inn would wear, so although I haven't obtained any definitive proof, it might be from there. When I purchased it, I lightly hand-washed it with water, but I don't have any specialized knowledge of cleaning such items. I was concerned about color fading and fabric deterioration, so I haven't washed it with detergent since then. The fabric is a rough-textured cotton and feels somewhat stiff. When hung, the width of the sleeves spread out is about 125cm, and the length from the back collar to the hem is about 90cm. There are no noticeable tears, and the dye seems to be well-preserved, but there is some age-related soiling and a sooty feel, typical of old cloth. As it is an antique from an old era, please purchase it with the understanding of this. Please make your judgment based on the images provided. ※Please do not purchase if you are nervous, have little understanding of old cloth/antiques, or are concerned about minor details. We cannot accept returns or refunds. It will be shipped folded, so please be aware of this.
