This is a full-length Japanese children's kimono.
Age: Taisho period - 1920's
Condition: Good condition. This kimono displays some staining, that is normal for its age. It has no rips or tears, but has some tea stains on the fabric of the sleeves.
This is one of the rare sizes of kimono that could be worn over normal clothing, like a trendy smoking jacket. It would fit someone US size 0-2. *the sleeves would reach the forearm, which is a modern twist on how to wear a kimono.*
This could be classified as a furisode. It has long sleeves that dip far below the waist. It would have been worn by a young, unmarried girl. Perhaps on her 20th birthday, for Coming of Age Day. (if she was petite, this is a petite kimono)
This is a "chirimen" silk. Chirimen silk is a sturdier crepe-silk, the slight texture is achieved by twisting the threads during weaving. It is a bit heavier than crepe-silk, and drapes exceptionally well.
Vibrant colors dance over a clean, pink backdrop.
Orbs of Japanese imperial chrysanthemums, or "kiku," are celebrated throughout this kimono.
Hokusai's ocean waves reach out with finger-like precision to crash against the flowing banners of stylized imperial blossoms.
A bright crimson-red lining imbues this piece with a sense of youth and vitality.
This kimono could be worn without an obi, which is a Japanese kimono-belt. It has silk ties to keep it closed.
The color combination is an auspicious combination, likely worn for a holiday or portrait.
Please message me for detailed measurements.
This is a beautiful piece, worthy of display.
Whether you wish to wear it in the bedroom or put it on display, this one-of-a-kind kimono is a beautiful addition to any collection.
I'm currently living in Japan with access to incredible antique-dealers. I've uncovered treasure troves of antiques, and I'm just beginning to share my collection on Etsy.
Please add me as a favorite seller to what my vintage collection unfold.
