Description

Sometimes called “the old man of the sea” because of its bent back, the Japanese lobster (ise-ebi or kamakura-ebi) is a symbol of longevity. It is often used as a theme on bedding, such as this yogi, a kimono-shaped coverlet. When in use, warmly interlined yogi are spread over the sleeper, with the collar band fitting snugly under the chin and over the shoulders.
