This is a Miyako Jofu, one of the most valuable summer asa (ramie) kimono.
Its thin and delicate ramie yarn is hand plied and neat and fine geometric pattern is hand woven elaborately.
Textile has soft but crisp touch.
Lapel is bachi-eri(folded lapel).
As the photos and the sheet show, it has some flaws.
However, as a whole, it's in very good condition.
*Approx background color - dark navy
Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff )
