This is a vintage asa(ramie) kimono. Textile has textured and stiff touch of asa, and has woven stripe pattern.
On the stripe, elegant peony motif is dyed.
It has some flaws as photos show. However, they are slight or small and not disturbing. As a whole it is in very good condition and beautiful piece.
