Summer Simplicity

This is a VINTAGE Japanese Houmongi. Houmongi are semi-formal kimono that can be worn by both married and unmarried women. They are characterized by artfully arranged patterns that flow seamlessly across the garment's seams. This kimono displays a simple and elegant pattern of folding fans with delicate silver lame. The fabric is ro, for summer wear, dyed in an inviting sunshine yellow.

 

I have inspected this kimono in detail, there is a fair bit of patina on it; mostly on the fans. Overall, I would rate this kimono in good vintage condition. There are no tears, holes or seam separations. This garment is 100% silk.
