This is a vintage kurotomesode, most formal kimono for married women.
Its bottom has an auspicious flying crane pattern colorfully dyed.
Cranes are added so fine embroidery even the shine of their eyes are expressed with a small stitch.
Textile is silk and has soft but slightly textured touch.
Lapel is hiro-eri (wide lapel).

The wear on the collar is faint and not outstanding.
The left front has some stains, and patinas can be seen on the white places of the pattern.
As for other damages, please refer to the photos and the sheet.

It's surely old and worn out a little.
However, the contrast of the reddish hues and the black is still quite vivid.
Please enjoy its classical Japanese vintage taste!

*Approx background color - black
