This is a marvelous kurotomesode, the most formal kimono for married women.
Peony and 'kiku'(chrysanthemum) are beautifully embroidered.
Textile is a kind of chirimen(crepe) silk and has soft, but comfortable touch.

As the photos and figure show, it has some flaws.
The discolorations in the seam of left sleeve part of the front side and creases of both shoulder parts are rather prominent. (B)
The wears (D)and the smudges in the both sleeve parts are rather slight. (A)

Its black color is discolored rather prominently and it can not be worn at formal occasions.

*Approx background color - Black
Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff )
