Nicely done imagery on the back of this under kimono - all pointing to a reverence for the traditional Japanese tea ceremony. In the foreground, the tea caddy and tea bowl; in the background, a cascade of fresh water for the tea. To the side, a small tea house nestled in the woods. Each element is beautifully designed with a watercolor effect. The kimono background features a mottled shibori effect that fades to a very light gray behind the featured elements. Under kimono (called juban or nagajuban) are layered under a kimono (and over undergarments) when dressing formally in a kimono. Although juban are often the more colorful and decorative versions of kimono for a man, only an inch of the collar would be visible to the public. The designs on the fabric are reserved for the wearer and whoever is in the room when he's getting dressed or undressed. This style of kimono is popular in Western countries as a casual robe or cover up.
