Thank you very much for viewing. Please read the profile before considering a purchase. This is an old furisode (long-sleeved kimono) that has been stored at home since I bought it. In my subjective opinion, based on the texture and patterns of the silk fabric, it is likely a piece from the early to mid-Showa era (1926-1989). The color is a beautiful and elegant off-white. The beautiful silk fabric features a tachibana (rising vapor) pattern and a textured background of chrysanthemum and paulownia flower motifs. The tachibana pattern represents rising clouds or steam, and is considered an auspicious pattern that brings good luck. The lavishly applied patterns depict several auspicious cranes taking flight towards the sky, rendered with gold thread embroidery and delicate, precise embroidery. In addition, within the wings of the cranes, auspicious tortoiseshell, shippo (seven treasures), seigaiha (waves), and other lucky motifs are depicted. The patterns on the white fabric are so beautiful that they are captivating, and they appear vivid enough to give a fluorescent impression. The patterns are applied only in shades of blue, with accents of silver, pink, white, and gold thread. I am moved by the wonderful sense of beauty of the ancestors as I look at each pattern. The condition has some stains and spots due to its age. There are color changes on both sides and the back where it was worn. There are also several brown stains and signs of wear on the sleeve lining. There are no noticeable tears or damage. This comes with a matching nagajuban (long undergarment). The nagajuban also has color changes and stains from wear, but there do not appear to be any tears or damage. If you are considering wearing it, we recommend that you have both the furisode and the nagajuban cleaned before wearing. This is a very beautiful furisode with a lovely antique atmosphere. Although there are color changes on the fabric from wear, the gold thread embroidery is not frayed, and the gold and silver leaf are almost intact. It is an item that has passed through a long time, but I hope you will wear it again in the Reiwa era (2019-present). The items for sale are the furisode, nagajuban, an orange-gold fukuro obi (formal obi), obi-jime (cord) and obi-age (sash) (modern items, used) - a total of 5 items. I am also currently selling other items, such as the embroidered han-eri (collar) in the latter half.
