Lapel is hiro-eri (wide lapel).
Its bright red juban has 'kusudama'(flowers ball) pattern woven in its textile.
Textile is kinsha (fine crepe) silk and has very soft touch.
The
Furisode has stains and discoloration from its old age.
Tears and loosened seams can be seen at the armholes.ޡޡThe lining fabric is weak and may cause more tear in future.
Embroidery threads are coming loose or gone in places.
Tiny holes can be seen about the left cuff.
As for other damages, please refer to the photos and the sheet.
This seems difficult to be worn anymore.
Still this wonderful piece can be a breathtaking display!
