(Photos ⑥⑦) Condition: Beautiful condition The material is pure silk. I was told this at the time of purchase, and my kimono-savvy family members have also confirmed it, but as I am an amateur, I cannot make a 100% definitive judgment. I apologize if this is incorrect. In addition to the above, there may be small stains, scratches, or dirt that are not described or shown in the photos. I cannot confirm or explain 100% of the minor imperfections of old fabric. Faint fold marks from wear are visible on the hand-end side. Although it is in beautiful condition, individual perceptions may vary. This is a used item that has passed through human hands over many years. I ask that only those who understand and accept antique and recycled items purchase it. Also, please only purchase if you understand that this is a stored item from a private home. Please assume that there is an old smell from camphor or storage in a chest of drawers. I have not specifically mentioned smells that are only noticeable when you bring your face close. Please forgive any slight errors in measurements as they are taken by an amateur. For many years, I have been fascinated by antique kimonos and have collected them, but most have never been worn, or have only been worn once or twice. I plan to gradually list kimonos, obis, haoris, etc., mainly antique items. Shipping method: Yu-Packet Post or Yu-Pack (anonymous shipping). Regardless of the listed price, if it fits within Yu-Packet Post, I will use Yu-Packet Post. It will be placed in an OPP bag or zipper bag for waterproofing, and then put into a shipping vinyl bag or envelope.
