A magnificent, antique, silk, tomesode kimono
Some of my Japanese garments have large, white stitching (shitsuke) round the edges. The Japanese put these stitches in to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment Made and bought in Japan
Fully lined
There are some tiny specks of foxing on the design, as is to be expected of this age. See photos below. Foxing is a characteristic of antique silks but it does not weaken the fabric, it just creates little tan specks. The foxing is very minor, particularly considering this kimono's age; it does not detract from the beauty or quality of the kimono at all
If the black looks grey or shaded in the pictures, it is just the photos, it is a lovely deep, smooth black
Supreme quality - this will have been a frighteningly expensive kimono. Only a very, very expensive kimono would have had such bold artwork and so much superb artwork inside too
Large, very detailed figures, with takarabune (treasure ship) festival carts and flower carts. It has absolutely stunning artwork on inner edges, as well as outside; the inner pattern intended to show as the kimono flicks slightly open when walking but with it mostly remaining concealed inside, providing hidden beauty, which is much loved by the Japanese. This inner design is called Tomohakkake, which means having a continuation of outer textile art onto the lining; tomo means 'including' and hakkake means 'lower lining of a kimono'
**If shown with a sash, the sash is not included; for display purposes only, to let you see it closed, however, all kimono require an obi or some sort of sash to hold them closed; these are always bought separately. Think of it like a skirt and blouse, you can't wear either on its own, you buy them separately and mix and match The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition.
