There is nothing to compare with the touch
of antique silk. This is Taisho era (1912-1926) light black silk
formal kimono Tomesode for high-end woman with marvelous 'mirror image'
pattern - picturesque mountain scenery which is dyed
artistically.
Some parts are added intricate
embroidery.
The hand painted tasteful decoration
is repeated on the inside of the hem as well as the outside.
The dress gown has five mon (family crest) in the oxalis motif and
fully lined in white silk. Very good condition. |
