Red Peacock Long Kimono Robe 'Akashou'
Red Peacock Long Kimono Robe with Sakura, Peonies and Vermillion Sheen
Akashou pulls its name from aka — the old word for red, the dye that ran through ceremonial robes and lacquerware long before synthetic pigments. The robe runs in vermillion satin, with peacocks unfolding their tails through pink peonies and scattered cherry blossoms. The red is dense, the white sakura cuts through it in clean lines, and the peacock anchors the front like a signature. The kacho-ga lineage reads clearly here: bird and flower on the same plane, no one element fighting another. It's a piece that holds a room without trying.
The cut follows the traditional silhouette: wide three-quarter sleeves, a deep V-collar, a wrap front tied at the waist with the included satin belt. The length falls to mid-calf, somewhere between robe and dress, made to be belted loose or pulled tight. The fabric is polyester satin — fluid, smooth against the skin, holding its drape rather than clinging to it. Seams are reinforced for daily wear. The cut runs slim, and a size up gives more room for layering or a fuller shape.
You get the kimono robe and its matching satin belt. The print holds its tone through regular wear and gentle hand-washing. No costume packaging, no plastic accessory clutter — just the garment, ready to be folded into your wardrobe alongside everything else you actually wear.
Wear it open as a robe at home, tied tight over black trousers for evening, or layered over a slip when the weather warms. It pairs with leather sandals, with low ankle boots, with bare feet on a tatami floor. There are two Japans in every wardrobe; this one leans toward the matsuri side — festival reds, lantern light. Free standard delivery.
