This is a RARE stage costume from pre WWII.
It is made of black velvet cotton( it seems to be cotton, but we are not sure - lining is silk ), and has bold
Benkei and pine tree motifs, which are made of luxurious kinkoma embroidery!
Please enjoy its wonderful details with more photos.
It has some frays, tears, repaired tears, embroidery off parts and some other flaws as photos show( threads of
Benkei face are missing mostly ) .
However, it is still very charming and valuable piece!
*size 51.2 in ( 130 cm) x 47.2 in ( 120 cm)
