Antique Japanese Montsuki Kimono for Men – Black Silk – TakanoHane Crest #004
This authentic vintage Japanese formal kimono is made of 100% black silk and features five family crests "Maru ni TakanoHane" (a stylized falcon feather motif). Formerly worn under the samurai armor Yoroi, it embodies strength, tradition, and formal Japanese elegance. This kimono is an exceptional piece for martial arts practitioners, collectors, and lovers of traditional Japanese culture.
🔶 Historical & Cultural Background
Crafted during the Showa period (1929–1989), this antique silk kimono has become increasingly rare in Japan. Once worn daily by Japanese men, such formal garments are now reserved for weddings, ceremonies, and martial arts events. Due to the high cost of new silk kimonos, vintage pieces like this one are often rented or carefully preserved.
🔶 Features
- Material: 100% silk (outer & lining)
- Lining Color: Deep indigo/blue-purple
- Crest: 5 "Maru ni TakanoHane" family crests (white)
- Placement of crests: 2 on the chest, 2 on the sleeves, 1 on the back collar
- Use: Ceremonial wear, Iaido, Kenjutsu, Battojutsu, or as martial arts keikogi (paired with hakama – sold separately)
- Origin: Made in Japan
- Condition: Very good vintage condition (see detailed photos)

Let customers speak for us
These traditional waraji sandals were very well crafted. Authentic and holds the period look. I recommend Bujindo as a source of high quality goods!
I would like to express my sincere gratitude for the excellent service and the smooth handling of my purchase. I was extremely satisfied with the entire buying process, and everything was handled professionally and efficiently.
I would especially like to mention that the Samue is absolutely beautiful. It exceeded my expectations, and I was truly delighted when I received it. I greatly appreciated that everything went so smoothly from start to finish.
Thank you very much for your care, attention, and outstanding service. I wish you continued success and hope to purchase from you again in the future.
Excellent experience with this e-shop which I do recommend for their really nice selection and for their precious advice.
The Tabi boots I get are exactly how I expected them.
As an US 10 the 28 is perfect.
Japanese traditional style to walk through the streets of the world
Hervorragende MaterialQualität zum fairen Preis.
Domo Arigato gozai masu!🙏
My haori arrived in a timely manner and was everything I expected it to be and more. The quality of the haori is fantastic, and it fits great!
This pair of shoes is really very comfortable, and the craftsmanship is excellent. It's exactly what I expected. The only problem is that I ordered a pair half a centimeter larger than my usual size, and even so, they're so tight that I can't even wear socks (tabis)!
I loved them, very beautiful and perfect fit if you follow the measure instructions. Looking forward for some outdoors bujinkan training in the spirng!
I wish they would come in 12 version as well
Thank you very much
Just like described, fast shipment. Nothing to complain about :)
The Samue suit is very beautiful crafted - the fabric is soft and very pleasant to wear. A high quality clothing that exudes a genuine Japanese feeling attention to detail. . The tabi shoes clearly high quality. I am very happy.
Super cozy!
out est parfait. Merci
heads raised to the heavens, i am not worthy of the energy without thy consent.
Comfortable and visually stunning
Just the right size.
As this belt was a replacement for my original black belt from 2003, I am very pleased to say that it has the same feel and quality of my previous belt. I teach karate 5 days a week, so I need a belt that stands the test of time. I am positive that this is it!
