#012 temari meets kabuki jinbei set

Jinbei are a casual style of kimono that is perfect for relaxing around the house, at the beach, in summer, and for sleeping. The loosely fit design and string tie adjustments allow babies to wear the same size for over a year. 

This jinbei is approximately 70cm - 80cm (27.5" - 31.5") and is designed to fit babies that are 0 to 2 years old.

The string ties make it easy to put on lying down, and the pants comfortably cover babies' diapered bottoms with long crotch to waist design.

All Warashi-ko jinbei are made exclusively from tenugui, a traditional Japanese textile, handmade by Japanese artisans at the historic studio Todaya in Tokyo, Japan.  Since 1872, Todaya has used the traditional chusen technique for hand-dyeing tenugui. Unlike printed fabric, textiles dyed with this technique have vibrant colors on both sides and stay bright through after many washes. 

The 100% natural tokuoka cotton fabric, made specially for Todaya, gets softer and softer though each use, and each patterns has a unique name and story associated with it.

warashi-ko #012 jinbei uses "temari", the colorful ball pattern, and "korai-koshi", the red plaid pattern, for the top, and "hoshizora" the starlit sky for the pants.

"Temari" is a traditional ball toy, made with colorful strings. The design is Toda-ya's original creation.

"Korai-koshi" was a favorite pattern of a famous kabuki actor, 5th Koshiro Matsumoto. The name was taken from the actor's family name "Korai", and "koshi" means cross stripes.

"Hoshizora" means the starlit sky and the name explains this beautifully designed Toda-ya original pattern.

Each jinbei is shipped wrapped in soft furoshiki gauze cloth.
