This is a kurotomesode, most formal kimono for married women. It has elegant 'ryouzuma'(mirror image design) pattern, which is the feature of the kimono from pre WWII. Flowers, royal cart, 'tsuzumi'(Japanese hand drum) and other traditional motifs are dyed with
yuzen technique.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft touch.
Black color has slight discoloration and there are some flaws as photos show.
However, as a whole it is in very good condition.
