- A glorious, red, ko-furisode kimono, with big ume (plum) blossom and lots of lovely touches of gold
- Extra deep sleeves
- Synthetic textile, gently hand washable (use colour dtergent, do not rub or leave to soak, just verry gently squeeze the water through it). Can be given a short machine spin dry after final rinse, put into the machine separately, not with other items. Machine washing is too harsh and can rip off swinging sleeves of kimono.

Plum Blossom Red 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
