This is an elegant vintage kimono with pretty sakura (cherry) and kiku (chrysanthemum) flowers dyed.
The gradation in the background looks like shadows of the flowers.
Textile is soft rinzu silk with damask effect of 'yukiwa' (snow crystals).
Its lapel is bachi-eri(folded lapel).
The sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimonos from pre WWII.
As the photos and the sheet show, the sleeve rims and the bottom hem are mildly smudged.
The stains in the figures are not so outstanding, but the base color looks slightly discolored with age.
The seam around the right armhole is a little cut and loosened.
Also, there are small holes along the left sleeve rim and the bottom hem.
As for other damages, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
