- An exquisite, muted pink kimono, with magnificent scenery. Hand washable synthetic textile. Lots of gold detailing. Half lined, to keep the upper half cooler. Beautiful to wear or stunning as a display item. Don't think that being synthetic means it was an inexpensive, low quality kimono. It is a very high quality one, with exquisite textile art, gold detailing, entirely exquisitely hand tailored, like all high quality kimonos. The collar edge is lined in silk.
- Made inand bought from Japan
- Type: An awashe, (lined) kimono, it is half lined, at the lower half
- Synthetic textile – hand washable and can be machine spun to remove excess water. Cool steam iron on the inside or on the outside with a cloth between iron and kimono fabric.

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.
Magnificent Scenery Kimono
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 lengthSome 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
