Japanese Kuro Neko Hanten – Black Cat Cotton Jacket Made in Japan
Discover the playful elegance of Japanese summer fashion with this Japanese Kuro Neko Hanten, an authentic Made in Japan jacket decorated with charming black cat motifs.
Designed by EDOMADE for BujindoShop, this lightweight Japanese jacket combines traditional hanten styling with a modern Kuro Neko (黒猫 – Black Cat) pattern. Made from 100% cotton, it offers excellent breathability and a relaxed oversized silhouette that is ideal for festivals, summer events, casual wear, travel or Japanese-inspired street style.
Kuro Neko – The Japanese Black Cat Motif
Kuro Neko (黒猫) means “black cat” in Japanese. Across the entire fabric, playful black cats appear in a variety of poses, creating a lively and unmistakably Japanese design.
The contrast between the minimalist base color and the scattered black silhouettes gives this jacket a distinctive personality while remaining easy to coordinate with modern clothing.
It is an excellent choice for anyone interested in Japanese cats, kawaii culture, Japanese traditional clothing, anime-inspired fashion, festivals or unique Made in Japan garments.
Two Colors Available
This Kuro Neko Japanese Hanten is available in two color variations:
-
Ivory: ivory / off-white base decorated with contrasting black cats for a bright and playful look.
-
Gray: gray base with black cat motifs for a darker, more understated and contemporary appearance.
Both colors feature the same all-over Black Cat pattern and are offered in a relaxed Free Size.
100% Cotton – Lightweight & Breathable
Made in Japan from 100% cotton, this hanten is designed to be comfortable and breathable during spring and summer.
The natural cotton fabric allows air to circulate around the body, while the loose-cut sleeves and open front create the relaxed feel traditionally associated with Japanese summer jackets.
This is a lightweight, unpadded hanten, not a padded winter hanten, making it especially suitable for warmer weather.
