East-meets-West design named after the former Japanese capital can be casual or dressy, and is perfect for showing off a set of pretty buttons. Butterfly sleeves and slits provide an oriental touch, whereas the shawl collar is distinctly Western in character, creating a Yin-Yang hamony in the garment.
