This is a superb
Furisode set with a gorgeous colorful design.
Cranes are flying over clouds decorated with 'kikko' (tortoise shell), pine tree and flowers.
Kinkoma embroidery is added to the cranes.
Judging from the design and the lining, this piece seems from after the war, though it's not at all inferior to the ones from pre WWII.
Lapel with embroidery is added to the vivid red juban.
The hems are padded and it's made for dragging along.
Textile of the
Furisode is silk, and it has soft and slightly textured touch.
The one of the juban is rinzu, silk with damask effect, and it has very soft touch.
As the photos and the sheet show, the white parts has some smudges and patinas.
Also, there are wear on the lapel and patinas on the lining.
However, it's still in very good condition.
