This is a charming yellow haori with 'temari'(ball for girls) motif, which is dyed colorfully with
shibori technique. Flowers are also dyed in the yellow background.
Textile is silk with damask effect(rinzu), and has soft and smooth touch.
Sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimono from pre WWII.
Because of its old age, it has some flaws as photos show. We don't check in the figure, but seam of the right sleeve hole is coming loose approx 1cm-0.4in long. The stain 'B' is most prominent, but most flaws are not disturbing. As a whole it is in very good condition and BEAUTIFUL piece!
