This is a fascinating vintage kimono.
Overlapping 'matsukawa-bishi'(pine bark diamonds) make up its sharp geometrical pattern.
Pretty flowers such as kiku (chrysanthemums) and layered ume (plum blossoms) are also dyed.
Textile is soft rinzu silk with damask effect of lattice check patterned clouds.
Lapel is bachi-eri(folded lapel).
Its lining is silk and jinken (rayon) blend.
This piece might have been for a girl since its length is shorter.
Its grayish base is discolored with age, and it's especially prominent about the shoulders.
It also has patinas which rather stand out on the left front.
Its hakkake (lower part of lining) has remarkable stains as shown in photo G.
For the details, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
Please enjoy this lovely design full of Japanese vintage atmosphere as you like.
