This  silk hanjuban represents a sophisticated example of mixed-technique Japanese textile artistry, combining the ancient craft of shibori resist-dyeing on the bodice with modern printed silk sleeves to create a garment that bridges traditional and contemporary approaches. The shibori-dyed central section displays deep indigo blue with organic, cloud-like patterns created through the resist process, punctuated by geometric star or flower motifs rendered in white dotted lines that suggest celestial imagery or stylized fireworks. The sleeves contrast dramatically with their printed designs featuring what appears to be scholarly or literary themes, including bamboo motifs and text panels that evoke classical Japanese poetry or calligraphy, rendered in muted earth tones that complement the vibrant blue of the bodice.

The shibori work demonstrates continuity with centuries-old Japanese dyeing traditions, while the printed sleeves show the influence of Art Deco's geometric sensibilities and the period's fascination with mixing cultural references. The literary elements on the sleeves suggest the wearer's cultural sophistication and align with the Japanese tradition of incorporating poetry and calligraphy into textile design. This juban exemplifies how men's undergarments of this era could serve as canvases for artistic expression, allowing for bold experimentation that might be considered too avant-garde for outer garments while maintaining the refined aesthetic standards expected of educated urban men during Japan's rapid modernization.

It measures 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, standing at 32 inches (81 cm) in height.
