Hitoe Odori Kimono
  • A lovely, gentle grey, odori (Japanese traditional dancer's) tsukesage kimono, with burgundy, pink and pale blue design and lots of gold Japanese lacquer detailing
  • Synthetic textile. The Japanese excel at making synthetic textiles. Gently hand washable, many synthetic kimonos have that advantage
  • Hitoe (unlined) kimono. Being unlined is not a sign of lesser quality, it is to make it cooler for summer outdoor wear
  • Made and bought in Japan
  • **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


Condition:
Great - there is a tiny mark on it - see photos

Measurements approx:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 130cm
Sleeve seam to sleeve seam 64cm

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
