Jyuban - underwear of kimono



Please have a look the picture.It's a kimono bag. Yes, but it's made of a underwear of kimono called "Jyuban".


Jyuban is the original Portuguese of "Jibaun gibão" copied word sounds.
There are the 2 type of Jubans;



1. Hada jyuban - "Hada" means skin in Japanese. Hada jyuban is worn on skin directly. It's normally made of cotton.



2. Naga jyuban - "Naga" means long in Japanese. Naga jyuban is a full length underwear which is worn between Hada jyuban and kimono. It's a sort of business shirt under men's jacket.


Most Jyuban is made of very thin silk, so it was hard for me to use for the kimono bags.


The kimono bag is made of the vintage naga jyuban using a glue between kimono and interface without damage!
