A Japanese furniture form known as the “Kimono Rack” is a configuration of poles used for hanging clothing. A kimono rack comprises two vertical poles on transverse feet joined by three horizontal poles: one in the space between the two feet, one across the top of the poles, typically extending slightly beyond them, and one in the middle. Each junction and the protruding ends of the top pole are tightly covered with metal fittings, typically made of bronze or copper. The feet are made of very heavy wood for stability. (Boyce, n.d.)
