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.

- 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

Let customers speak for us
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!
Confortable et parfsit pour ma taille de pied. C’est super a porter a l’interieur :)
An amazing Gi. More like a samurai robe. Where the tk-10 is stone this is water, not flimsy but heavy but flows like a powerful river. Amazing quality.
I ordered this product as a replacement for a cheap Chinese samue that lasted roughly 3 weeks. This one is on another level. I am 182 cm and 83 kg and the 2L fits me nicely. Although based on the leg length a L would have also worked. The cloth has a nice thickness and texture to it. International shipping was fast. Would definitely recommend...it would also be really nice if this shop would have an European reseller, preferably in Germany ;)
A beautiful, high-quality product — it's a pity about the customs charges for Italy.
I ordered a new Shureido belt on a Thursday and it arrived in Australia the following Monday. That is fantastic service and I would be happy to purchase from the Bujindo store again.
Very very happy. Super quality and productsp
Easy communication, fast delivery and top notch quality of material. I can't be happier. Thank you so much
