Vintage 1940's Japanese Kimono - Bold Cerulean Blue Silk with Woodblock Print & Fringe Sash | One Size

This 1940s kimono was made from a luxurious heavier weight silk in a bright shade of cerulean blue. Completely stitched by hand, with a stunning woodblock print that features beautiful Geishas and bold pops of fuchsia pink. This very much 'art deco' robe drapes nicely around the shoulder, with the iconic long sleeves that add drama upon movement. An accompanying sash tie closes the kimono at the waist, with silk fringe at the ends which adds an elegant touch. A very unique piece, perfect for both modern and vintage loyalist collections.

This is an antique or early vintage garment made from delicate materials such as silk, fine cotton, lace, or early synthetics. These textiles may display signs consistent with age, which includes:

• natural fiber fatigue
• gentle thinning at stress points
• subtle irregularities inherent to early manufacturing
• age-related softness or patina

These qualities are authentic to historic garments and are considered part of their character, not defects, unless otherwise stated.

Notable flaws, such as excessive wear, stains, holes, or rips will always be photographed and disclosed in the condition notes.
