This is a kurotomesode, which is the most formal kimono for married women. Its classical design - folding fan, 'tsuru' (crane), 'kiri' (paulownia), 'botan' (peony), and 'matsu' (pine tree) pattern are dyed gorgeously.
The 'tsuru' (crane) pattern is traced with kinkoma embroidery, which increase its gorgeous atmosphere.
White lining is attached but its kimono itself might be a vintage.
The hiyoku (lower part of lining) is attached, which is synthetic and replaced later age.
Textile is silk and has soft smooth touch.

Discoloration and patinas can be seen here and there.
Because of its old age, it also has some flaws such as wear and holes. Please refer the photos and sheet for other flaws and details.

It sure has some flaws, but it is still in very good condition to enjoy its vintage atmosphere.
