Michiyuki Vintage Mitiyuki

I have included both spellings here to make the page easier for the search engines to locate.  Mitiyuki differ from haori as a coat insomuch as the mitiyuki is worn closed rather than open.   I have listed a body measurement for you to make your choice easier.  The body measurement is taken across the lowest button closure while the garment is fully fastened.

SOLD Antique Kimono Mitiyuki Michiyuki Brown & Gold.

This one is difficult to describe in terms of the silk; it is very soft and smooth, but has weight and the pattern is nubby and heavily raised, giving this one a lot of texture and subtle color.  It is in excellent condition and has a pretty green and white liner with a pattern of leaves.  It measures wrist to wrist 51", body width 23", sleeve drop 17 1/4" and length 33".  It is $65.00.

SOLD Grey Michiyuki With Shibori Man Silk Mitiyuki.

This garment has the most amazingly soft touch!  The silk is incredibly smooth, and the color represents well in most of the pictures here; the pictures of the whole garment, front and back, are the best.  The figure is done in shibori, which you can see in the detail shots.  There are some very light, vague stains that are very hard to see if you don't know to look for them; nothing glaring or obvious.  I have never seen a michiyuki as pretty as this one, and it measures wrist to wrist 52", body width 22 1/4", sleeve drop 18" and length 41".  It is $125.00.

SOLD Caramel Michiyuki, Patchwork Rectangles Mitiyuki.

This garment is quite heavy, and I would guess that it is because of the weaving.  There is a series of rectangles that overlay each other in various tones and weaves, which gives it a very interesting surface texture too!  45".  Excellent condition, it is $45.00.

SOLD Black Mitiyuki, Silver Urushi Strings Michiyuki.

This one positively glows, with all that silver urushi in a random string, or 'scribble' pattern.  The liner is much nicer than average too, although I can't decide if the vague pattern is one of rose buds or cracked ice.  Very pretty garment, this one also has the little concealed pocket!  43".  Excellent condition, it is $55.00.
