What is "Neko"? A sleeveless back-only hanten (a type of Japanese padded coat) It keeps your back warm from the shoulders to the waist. Since it has no sleeves or front panels, it doesn't get in the way, making it easy and comfortable to move around in when cooking in the cold mornings or working outdoors. Of course, it will also keep your back warm when you're sitting at a kotatsu (a low, heated table). The colors and patterns are very beautiful, making it stylish as loungewear, but you can significantly increase the warmth by wearing it under a pull-over or apron. Thread the belt that extends from the collar through the side loops and tie it to the length that suits you. It's lightly padded and very warm. Originally, it was a cold-weather garment from the harsh Enna region. Perfect as a gift for friends and family!
