- A beautiful and rare, green silk houmongi (hōmongi) kimono, with kumodori scene. Kumodori is a break in the clouds, through which a scene is viewed, popular in Japanese design.
- Fully lined (awashe)
- If shown with a sash, the sash is not included; for display purposes only but note that kimonos do need an obi or wide sash to hold them closed.
Condition:
Very good. it has some little foxing marks. Foxing is a patina sometimes seen on vintage silk, due to long term storage in hot and humid conditions, such as the Japanese summer. Foxing does not weaken the fabric, it just appears as little brownish spots - see photos
Measurements:
Sleeve end to sleeve end 127cmSleeve seam to sleeve seam 63cmSleeve depth 49cmLength 155cm
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.
