Antique kimono cotton candy crane pink deco bird motif silk yukata shorter

This would suit a size small to medium best, or even xs for a slightly oversized tailored fit - true antique silk kimono from Kyoto Japan - there are some minor discolorations on silk from age and storage - I did not try to remove, but as with all kimonos I did the traditional vodka spray and air out to cleanse the delicate silk of any residual tansu storage issues. The perfumed starch used in antiquity can linger, but this process eliminates it for the new wearer in the modern age . Because of the minor marks and discoloration here and there this unique and gorgeous piece is priced accordingly. Any inner lining spots that resemble the shroud of turn are just oxidized starch from the showa era, when they used this starch - beteeen the 40s and 60s. It is not oil or dirt :) it is an easy way to “date” your kimono fyi No brand, tagged for exposure As with all antique and vintage textiles, there may be some slight discoloration here and there in this natural silk product
