Naga-juban is the underlayer worn under traditional kimonos. Concerned with the decline of kimono culture, we have created a simplified version of the naga-juban that can be worn under a kimono but also as a stand-alone fashion item to be combined with slacks or jeans. The collars have been designed to stand out when worn with a kimono, and are adorned with traditional embroidery from areas of Japan including styles inspired by the designs of Hokkaido’s Ainu culture.
