Limited-time sale: 49 USD 171 USD
Authentic Japanese men’s black silk haori (羽織) in formal Montsuki style, adorned with five Dakimyōga family crests (抱き茗荷) and a rare calligraphed inner lining bearing the auspicious kanji “Kotobuki” (寿). A refined ceremonial garment from Japan, offered as a unique collector’s piece.

A Formal Montsuki Haori with Deep Cultural Meaning

This antique Montsuki haori is crafted from black silk habutae, a noble and fluid fabric historically reserved for formal samurai attire and high-ranking ceremonial wear. The presence of five kamon signifies the highest level of formality in traditional Japanese men’s clothing.

The inner lining is decorated with refined Japanese calligraphy featuring the kanji 「寿 – Kotobuki」, a powerful auspicious symbol traditionally associated with:

• Longevity and a fulfilled life
• Prosperity and good fortune
• Harmony, celebration, and auspicious beginnings

The Dakimyōga Kamon (抱き茗荷) – Symbolism & Heritage

The Dakimyōga kamon depicts two intertwined myōga (Japanese ginger buds). This elegant crest was historically used by samurai families, court officials, and refined households, and is deeply rooted in Japanese symbolism.

• Myōga (茗荷) is associated with protection, humility, and spiritual awareness
• The embracing composition (dakımi) symbolizes harmony, unity, and balance
• Often linked to families valuing discretion, wisdom, and loyalty
• In Buddhist symbolism, myōga also represents clarity of mind and insight

Because of its refined meaning, the Dakimyōga kamon was commonly worn during formal ceremonies and important life events, reflecting moral integrity and cultivated taste.
