A striking, green, floral, rinzu silk furisode kimono. A garment such as this is a labour of love created by traditional craftsmanship
Rinzu silk is delightfully smooth and has a slight satiny sheen
Beautifully decorated with touches of gold, couched embroidery (kinran)
Lovely quality - pure silk, inside and out. 1.1 kilos of silk. This will have been a supremely expensive kimono, costing well over £5000 (uk GBP £ pounds ). A lovely example of Japanese textile art
Fully lined (awase)
Made and bought in Japan
Sash not included
The Japanese take great pains to store their traditional garments with the utmost care, which is why they stay in such exceptional condition. 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
**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
Kimono collars are worn folded in, in half, at the neck

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 from the measurements given
