This is a
Houmongi Kimono with a 'michinaga-dori'(wavy line), matsu(pine tree) and zuicho(auspicious bird with long tail) which is embroidered with the Soshu embroidery technique.
The fine embroidered work is striking.
A lot of gold and silver foil threads are woven on its design, shining elegantly.
The textile is exquisite silk and has soft touch.
It has a woven kamon(family crest) on the nape.
It is Embroidered "Soshu - Shisyu" on the right front panel.
*The background color looks uneven in the photos, but actually it is one tone of color.*
*The real base color is a little more greenish than in the photos.
It has a tiny stain on the back bodice, which is not bothering.
For details, please check the figure and photos.
*It has a slight smell of long time storage*
It still can be worn enough at formal occasions.
We hope you enjoy this attractive embroidery work!
