Beautiful Scene - Ro Tomesode Kimono
  • A ro weave, tomesode kimono, with a flock of cranes over flowing water. A formal, summer kimono, with 5 mon (crests), the mon are kiri (paulownia), said, in Japanese mythology, to have the only branches that phoenix will land on
  • Made and bought in Japan
  • May have white shitsuke (basting stitches) around some edges, on the outside of the garment. These are simply to keep it neat during storage and just get pulled out before use


Type:

  • A tomesode kimono. Tomesode kimonos have one, three or five mon (crests), the more mon, the more formal the occasion it can be worn at
  • Itsutsu mon. Garments with mon (crests) are divided into three types: itsutsu-mon (5 mon), mitsu-mon (3 mon) and hitotsu-mon (1 mon). The more mon it has, the more formal an occasion it can be worn at
  • A hitoe (unlined) kimono, to keep the wearer cooler
  • Synthetic, ro weave textile. Ro weave fabric has light, airy weave and is used in summer weight kimonos, to keep the wearer cooler on hot days during August to September


Condition:
Excellent

Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 131cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 65cm
Length 167cm

Sizing:
Japanese clothing is usually of adjustable fit, being mostly wrap-over or tie-to-fit items, so most garments fit a range of sizes. Because of this (and only really knowing my own size anyway) I can't really advise anyone on the fit. Please judge fit from the measurements given.Measure from centre back of neck, along shoulder and down the arm to the wrist, then double that and compare it with the sleeve end measurement to judge sleeve length. If shown modelled, the woman in the photos is 125 cm from wrist to wrist.
