Showa Era - Vintage - Reversible
 
MEANING
Michiyuki means journey - the garment worn when setting out. The susuki (pampas grass) pattern is associated with autumn, the beauty of simple things and the quiet passing of time. One of Japan's most poetic seasonal motifs - appearing in haiku and art for centuries. A gift for someone who appreciates the understated.
