This is a vintage juban(undergarment) with attractive 'kusudama'(flowers ball) pattern, which is dyed.
Braided cords elegantly flow out from the balls.
Textile is 'kinsha'(very fine crepe) silk and has soft and slightly textured touch.
Because of its old age, it has some flaws.
Stains are rather noticeable on its cotton collar covering (A, D).
This piece must have been a favorite of the previous owner since most of the tears are patched.
There is also a torn and resewn line near each of the tips of the narrow front panels.
Still its design is very charming and full of Japanese vintage atmosphere.
About whether it's wearable or not, please refer to the photos and the sheets.
