This antique 1920s Japanese kimono was made from a decadent, rich cobalt blue silk material. Stunning embroidered flowers in various shades adorn its entirety, with the focal point being the back where we find luscious arrangements, vines, and hanging wisteria. Each flower is beautifully finished with peking knots at their center, showing the unique artistry that went into these highly collectible pieces. A loose, open fit with long sleeves that provide a dramatic allure for the wearer. This robe is fully lined in a color matched tissue silk and falls to the ankle.

Condition
Excellent: Wonderful condition for being over 100 years old. Fabric is strong and kimono can be worn carefully. There were repairs to the inner layer near the neck seam and one silk patch on the top of the shoulder that is not visible unless looking above when worn. The rear neck was folded over and sewn; did not release stitches as it does not affect how the garment lays when worn. A few spots that do not distract due to the dark hue and busy embroidery. Lining fully intact but there is one dime sized hole and some thinning.
