What is "Neko"? A sleeveless back-only hanten (a type of Japanese coat) It keeps your back warm from the shoulders to the waist. Since it has no sleeves or front, it doesn't get in the way, making it easy and comfortable to move around in for cooking on cold mornings or outdoor work. 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 also wear it under a pull-over or apron to increase warmth. Pass 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 light and warm. Originally, it was a cold-weather garment from the harsh Ena region. Perfect as a gift for friends and family!
