Summer kimono with a woven pattern of hagi leaves and grass.
It was stored in the paulownia chest of drawers at my parents' house. It has a crisp, shrunken texture, and I suspect it's linen, but the automatic input on Mercari listed it as silk. I'm not sure of the details, but the feel suggests it would be comfortable to wear on a hot day.
- Color: Bluish-gray purple
I think the color is close to the Japanese name "Aiiro Hatoba" (indigo dove wing).
Photo 1... Natural light, bright location
Photo 2... Natural light, darker location
Photo 3... When I try to capture the shrinkage with my smartphone, the color becomes completely different. The actual color is much more beautiful.
Photo 4... The hagi leaves have a special see-through weave. I placed white paper underneath so you can see it.
- Material: Unknown details
- Design: Woven pattern (hagi pattern, grass pattern)
Size, approx., cm
Length...160
裄 (Yukitake - from center back neck to wrist)...64
Sleeve length...45.5
Front width...23.5
Back width...31.5
Bati-collar
Overall, it doesn't appear to be damaged, but I found two areas of discoloration. One is on the back of the right sleeve (Photo 5), and the other is on the side of the right back panel, about 40cm from the hem (Photo 6, enlarged in Photo 7).
Also, I don't know how to remove the wrinkles from linen or silk that occurred during storage, so I've left them as they are.
I've lined up similar color samples in Photos 8 and 9.
Thank you for viewing.
