This is a vintage kimono whose background color shades from vivid wine red to tender beige.
Alluring paulownia motifs are dyed with elaborate embroidery work done onto some parts of them.
The sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimonos from pre WWII.
There are three kamons (family crests) remained undyed.
Textile is kinsha, fine crepe silk, and it has soft touch.
It has some flaws as photos show.
The wear on the lapel is visible in a purplish line.
This whole item is discolored with age.
On the beige colored area of the left front, there are rather noticeable orangish stains shown in the photo X.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
