This is a wonderful summer kimono - Natsu Oshima (Oshima
tsumugi for summer season).
Textile is silk but has crisp touch similar to that of Asa kimono.
It has 'katawaguruma'( wheels of royal cart, which are stored in the stream to avoid drying ) in stream pattern, which is colorfully woven.
Lapel is bachi-eri(folded lapel).
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
The whitish stains are rather spread, especially on bottom of the left front.
Also, slight discoloration can be seen.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
*Approx background color - black
