This is such a romantic vintage kimono.
'Neji-ume'(twisted ume blossom),
takara and flowers motifs are beautifully dyed.
Some parts are added fine embroidery.
Textile is silk with damask effect(rinzu), and has soft and smooth touch.
Sleeves are gracefully long, which is the feature of kimonos from pre WWII.
It has some flaws as photos show.
Lapel has prominent wear(A) and there are some stains . The stain (C) is slight.
There are pin holes in the shoulder (I) - it seemed to be re-sewn to make it bigger.
It has some other flaws as photos and figure show, but as a whole it is in very good condition.
