Inspired by the wide sleeves of Japanese kimono, simplified and tailored by Indian textile artisans, and decorated with a Chinese and Tibetan Buddhist motif of blooming peonies, this smooth satin robe represents the progress of cultural traditions across Asia. Buddhism crossed the continent in the same way, originating near the India-Nepal border, crossing India, and spreading through China and Japan over two millennia. The peony itself
sho yo or "most beautiful" in Chinesewas brought to Japan by Buddhist monks, whose painted scrolls inspired this robe's elegant floral design. Comes in a satin travel bag. Machine wash. Made in India.
