Made from a rare black formal kimono featuring Genji's nobles viewing cherry blossoms. It's silk. The black formal kimono is in near-new condition. The skirt is new. It has gorgeous, opulent gold leaf detailing. The nobles' kimonos are also beautiful. Perfect for weddings, parties, baby's first shrine visit, Shichi-Go-San (Children's Day), entrance ceremonies, reunions, dinners, and outings. The waist is elastic and free size. The length is 74 cm, a midi length. The hip and hem circumference is 132 cm. It should be easy to wear with the shirring. The short shirring on the fourth tier has been removed as it would have narrowed the flare.
