SIGNED ART Silk Tomesode Kimono, Stunning HandPainted Cranes, 2024 Flowers, Birds, Vintage Silk Japanese Kimono, Wear or Display, Home Decor Art

This is a stunning artist-signed Japanese SILK VINTAGE KIMONO for women called a KuroTomesode. The work-of-art pattern is dyed and hand-painted and it is a beautiful design of a garden with lovely blooming cherry or plum trees, cranes, maple leaves, flying long-tailed birds and other fauna. This is gorgeous! Five very pretty mon (family crests) on the back and front. In good condition with sun fading at the collar - but since it is on the fold where the collar is folded back this will not be too noticeable when worn, and at the shoulder seam. This would be stunning displayed as home or office decor but is wearable for those who appreciate vintage. I suspect this is from the 1980's or so....

A black kimono patterned only below the waistline, kurotomesode are the most formal kimono for married women. They are still often worn by the mothers of the bride and groom at weddings. In Japan I have seen these remade into modern western-style wedding garments for the brides relatives and thus carry the ancient tradition into modern day.

Feel free to request more closeups.

This is in excellent wearable condition with bright colors. It would also make a gorgeous statement piece for a wall. It is simply beautiful! It could be disassembled for the many yards of gorgeous fabric to make pillows, hangings, clothing etc. but it is lovely to wear.

Size:Pit-to-pit : 25"
