Vintage 1960's Japanese Uchikake Wedding Kimono | Bright Red Silk with Floral & Ougi Fan Embroidery

Vintage 1960s Japanese Uchikake kimono made from bold red silk with elaborate gold embroidery throughout.

Incredibly long 40-inch sleeves fall to about mid-shin, with a long trailing hem, both padded for both comfort and weight. This very special collectors gem has sewn in tabs for those who choose to display it.

Traditionally a ceremonial piece which would have been worn by a bride on her wedding day in Japanese culture.
