This is a graceful susohiki kimono from mid Showa period(Showa:1926-1989).
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.
It has kiku (chrysanthemum), ume(plum blossom) and hedge patterns, which are finely dyed.
It has textured and soft touch.
Silk hiyoku(added lining) is added.
There are prominent stains on the left front and the left sleeve(although we check as 'patina' in the figure C).
It also has some slight or small flaws as photos show.
