Genuine vintage Japanese kimono.

This is called a  SHA "紗"

One-of-a-kind-vintage.

 

This is originally a kimono for woman. Summer Kimono.
I would suggest a style that is unisex and casual wear

A beautiful silk SHA "紗"  kimono is worn as a robe.

Kimonos can be broadly divided into two fabrics types. 
They are "yarn-dyed kimonos" = "ORI"  and  "post-dyed kimonos" = "SOME".

Yarn-dyed fabrics”ORI” are fabrics that are dyed and woven while the threads are still in the yarn. 
Typical examples are "tsumugi", “omeshi”, and "cotton kasuri".
Tsumugi is especially popular among modern Japanese people, and many fabrics have simple designs.
Post-dyed kimonos”SOME” refers to kimono woven with white threads without dyeing, to which "komon dyeing," "Bingata dyeing," "Yuzen dyeing," and other processes are applied.
I feel that the kimono that people overseas imagine is like a “SOME” kimono.

This Kimono is a fabric called “SHA "紗"
Fabric for summer kimono woven with nep threads.

The pattern on this kimono is not a print.
