This is a magnificent Geisya's susohiki kimono from pre WWII.
It has sophisticated ume blossom motif, which is dyed with
yuzen technique.
Geisha hho wore this susohiki had to be GRACEFUL!
Susohiki literally means 'trail the skirt' and it was worn to do the elegant dance with a folding fan in the Japanese style drawing room. It has very long length and eye-catching design.
Geisha house's kamon is added.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft touch.
It has some stains, patinas and slight discoloration. However, as a whole it is in very good condition.
We highly recommend this fabulous susohiki!
