Japanese Vintage Hanten Cotton Jacket 'Asai' 1940s

About the Item

Hanten is a type of traditional Japanese garment that is often referred to as a "short coat" or "jacket". `it has a loose, kimono-like design with a straight collar and is typically made of quilted fabric, such as cotton or silk, to provide warmth during colder season. Hanten jackets feature a distinctive cross-over front with a series of ties or fasteners called "himo" that secure the garment. The himo can be tied in various ways, depending on personal preference or the formality of the occasion. Originally, hanten were worn by workers, firefighters, and the general public as a practical outerwear garment. However, they have also become popular as casual and fashionable attire, with many modern versions incorporating contemporary designs, patterns, and colors. Hanten are still commonly seen during festivals, traditional events, and in certain professions where they have retained their practicality, such as in restaurants or hot spring resorts. They are considered a quintessential part of Japanese cultural attire, reflecting a blend of functionality, comfort, and style. -Details- Fabric: cotton Era: Showa (Around 1940) Dimensions: Length: 89cm Width: 128cm Sleeve length: 32cm Sleeve height: 28cm
