Wow! I love that! I'd wear something similar in a heartbeat
Is that one of those blankets? (dont remember the name but I think it starts with a "C")
So cool you have that piece of family history!

Chemayo I think is the name your thinking of, yes. I remember her wearing it a lot when I was young, I think I'm going to throw it up on Ebay one of these days...

I saw one on the web when I first looked on some Japanese site just like this they were asking over $900.00, thats crazy!!!!! Even if they get half of that...

That's incredibly gorgeous. I love the little pockets and the silver buttons-- so cozy and adorable looking. I bet it's warm, too.
