Floral Roundels Blue Japanese Kimono - Wafuku 1
  • A lovely, deep blue kimono, with floral roundels with sakura (cherry blossom) and fuji (wisteria) design and pretty gold detailing
  • Made in and bought from Japan
  • Type: An odori (traditional Japanese dancer's) tsukesage-houmongi kimono. Tsukesage-houmongi hybrid style (with a pattern on the sleeve at one side and at the hem, tsukesage style, but with the pattern joining together over the side seam, houmongi style). These tsukesage-houmongi hybrid style kimonos are more formal than iro muji , komon and tsukesage kimonos but less formal than houmongi or tomesodes
  • Hitoe (unlined) as lined would be too warm for a dancer
  • Synthetic fabric, Hand washable. Excess water can be spun out in a machine but do not machine wash even washable kimonos. Do not leave to soak. Place a cloth over any metallic detailing when ironing
  • Sash not included

 

Condition:
Excellent

Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 128cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 63cm
Length 155.5cm

If shown modelled, the woman in the photos is 125 cm from wrist to wrist. The sash she is wearing with the kimono is not included, it's just to let you see it closed but kimonos do need an obi or wide sash to hold them closed
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

  • Kimono require a sash to hold them closed. This is always bought separately. Men usually wear a kaku obi with their kimono or, casually at home, a soft heko obi

    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. Check length given for the garment, then measure from base of back of your neck down to judge that length on you
    Also 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

    Some of my garments have white stitching (shitsuke) round the outside edges to keep the edges flat during long periods of storage, these stitches just get pulled out before wearing the garment

    Cleaning: Be very cautious about washing kimonos. All cleaning is done entirely at your own risk, as is standard with all vintage garments and items. I would advise only dry cleaning

    Colour: Please be aware that different monitors display colour slightly differently. Therefore the colour in the photos and description is a guide only
