Red Japanese Kimono Short Plum Polyester

✦ Why We Love It

赤に咋く梅、鳥の歌。 / Aka ni saku ume, tori no uta. / Plum blossoms bloom on red, the song of birds.

Pink, white and olive green plum blossom branches with small birds sweep across a deep red satin-feel ground — vivid, joyful, and impossible to ignore. The Red Japanese Kimono Short Plum Polyester is designed and made in Kyoto, knee length with standard sleeves and two front pockets. It hangs beautifully and feels wonderful to wear. Worn left over right, tied with a matching red obi sash. Machine washable at 40°.

✦ A Little Piece of Japan

The plum blossom — ume (梅) — is one of Japan’s most beloved flowers, blooming in late winter before the cherry blossom arrives. In Japanese culture, the ume symbolises resilience, hope, and the courage to bloom even in the cold. It has been celebrated in Japanese poetry, painting, and textile design for over a thousand years — and on a ground of deep red, the colour of vitality and good fortune, it becomes something truly joyful. Red (aka / 赤) is one of Japan’s most auspicious colours, associated with protection, energy, and celebration.

At Tokyo Gallery, we believe you are not just buying a kimono. You are learning something meaningful about the culture and craftsmanship behind it — and bringing a little piece of Japan home.

梅は寒さの中に咋く。 / Ume wa samusa no naka ni saku. / The plum blossoms in the cold.
