This is a luxurious geisha's susohiki from pre WWII.
Susohiki lieterally means `trail the skirt' and this particular kimono is much longer than other kimono and the bottom is padded. This is worn to do the elegant dance with a folding fan in the Japanese style drawing room.
This piece has elegant fan and stream pattern, and
takara and various flowers are dyed elegantly in it. In the left front part, embroidery is added.
Textile is exquisite silk, and has very soft touch.
It has some flaws as photos show, but as a whole it is in very good condition.
