Kyoto Shoin Art Japanese Textiles.

The Kosode is a basic Japanese robe for men and women; the literal meaning of the term kosode is small sleeve. The kosode was traditionally worn during Japan’s Edo period (1600–1868).

Kosode are T-shaped, have a looser fit than the kimono, and come in various lengths. Over time, the kosode gradually developed into a wide variety of styles, with patterns and fabrics.
