Description
Vintage brocade Japanese ceremonial kimono Uchikake. I'm not sure about the dating, could be mid-century, somewhere around there. Vintage ivory color ceremonial piece in pure silk with intricate detailed embroidery throughout accented with floral gold lame threads work that depicts different flowers (including plum blossoms, carnations, peonies and bamboo leaves) all of them traditional symbols of prosperity and auspiciousness. It is supposed to trail along the floor, this is also why it is heavily padded along the red hem. Fully lined with red fabric with a textured design. Pit to pit is approx 25.5". Shoulder top to sleeve cuff measures 42" long, sleeve is 12.5" wide. Kimono length as measured from shoulder top to bottom hem is approx 72-72.5". This Kimono is in overall very good vintage condition, with no holes, rips, odors or tears. There are a few faint spots (from I believe storage)-I've taken photos to show, but in person they are hard to see. Also, upon close inspection I noticed some wear to a couple embroidered flowers on sleeves.
