Black Peacock Long Kimono Robe 'Kuroshou'

Black Peacock Long Kimono Robe with Sakura, Peonies and Satin Drape

The robe runs in deep black satin, with peacocks unfolding their tails through scattered peonies and white cherry blossoms. The composition borrows from the kacho-ga tradition — bird-and-flower painting that ran across Japanese folding screens for centuries. On the dark ground the colours read deeper: green plumage, pink peony heads, the silver flicker of sakura petals catching light. The hem opens onto a thicker cluster of peacocks, the upper body stays quieter, the way old kosode garments balanced empty space against printed mass. There is a stillness to it that no costume version ever reaches.

The cut follows the traditional silhouette: wide three-quarter sleeves, a deep V-collar, a wrap front tied at the waist with the included satin belt. The length falls to mid-calf, somewhere between robe and dress, made to be belted loose or pulled tight. The fabric is polyester satin — fluid, smooth against the skin, holding its drape rather than clinging to it. Seams are reinforced for daily wear. The cut runs slim, and a size up gives more room for layering or a fuller shape.

You get the kimono robe and its matching satin belt. The print holds its tone through regular wear and gentle hand-washing. No costume packaging, no plastic accessory clutter — just the garment, ready to be folded into your wardrobe alongside everything else you actually wear.

Wear it open as a robe in the morning, tied tight over a slip dress for evening, or layered over wide trousers and a fitted top when the colour does the work. It pairs with bare feet on a wood floor, with leather slippers, with worn-in trainers when the rest of the outfit goes pared-back. There are two Japans in every wardrobe; this one leans toward the after-dark side — Shinjuku alleys more than temple gardens. Free standard delivery.
