KIMONO ROBE FUJI

Black Tomesode Kimono Robe – Plum Blossom, Wisteria & Bamboo

One-of-a-Kind Upcycled Japanese Kimono Robe

A unique long robe handcrafted from an authentic vintage Japanese Kuro Tomesode (black tomesode) kimono.

Kuro Tomesode is one of the most formal styles of traditional Japanese kimono, distinguished by its elegant black background and beautifully detailed motifs. We have reimagined this special vintage textile as a contemporary long robe that can be enjoyed beyond traditional occasions.

The deep black fabric provides a sophisticated backdrop for delicate Japanese motifs featuring plum blossoms (ume), wisteria (fuji), and bamboo leaves (sasa).

The Meaning Behind the Motifs

Plum Blossom – Ume
Plum blossoms bloom while winter still lingers and have long been associated in Japan with resilience, hope, and the arrival of spring.

Wisteria – Fuji
With its graceful cascading flowers, wisteria has been cherished in Japanese art and culture for centuries. Its flowing form brings an elegant and refined beauty to the design.

Bamboo Leaves – Sasa
Bamboo grows strong and straight while remaining flexible. It is traditionally associated with strength, vitality, and resilience.

Together, these traditional motifs create a beautiful Japanese landscape across the rich black fabric.

From Kimono to Contemporary Robe

Rather than allowing a beautiful vintage kimono to remain unworn, WATASI JAPAN gives it a new life through contemporary design.

The relaxed silhouette and long flowing length make this piece easy to layer over simple clothing, while preserving the beauty and character of the original Japanese textile.

Because we work with authentic vintage kimono, each robe is completely unique.

There is only one piece exactly like this in the world.
