Description

Trailing spring blossom on a vivid sky blue background makes this Japanese kimono fresh and light. It is made of soft crepe silk, cleverly dyed so that the blue fades into the cream. The lining, in fine silk, is mostly red with pale cream to the lower part. The printed decoration is hand finished with gold highlights. The whole kimono is hand stitched.
The condition is very good for its age, the only damage is a small rip to the lining at the neck (see photograph). A pleasure to wear for those special times....!
