I am not knowledgeable about kimonos. This item was a gift from someone who loves kimonos. Red fabric with a colorful ox-cart pattern. I did not find any major scratches or stains on the outside, but there may be some I overlooked. There are stains and small frays on the inside. Please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive or looking for a new item. No returns or complaints. I will pack it compactly for shipping.
