This kimono is asa chijimi - woven with strongly twisted ramie yarn, and has stiff and crispy touch. Its touch is comfortable in humid Japanese summer season.
Its red tree pattern is woven.
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.
