DESCRIPTION:

We are very pleased to have found another highly distinctive ceremonial kimono art-on-fabric.This impressive colored silk wedding kimono (iro-uchikake) measures 52 inches wide (our conventional measuring method, tip to tip across shoulder line) X 70 long with 41 inches sleeves; (metric conversions).

There is an exceptional amount of metallic gold brocade but it is not the overly shining type gold; full amount of brushed gold look interwoven as well; Motifs are replete with flower cart, chrysanthemums, iris, wisteria, peonies, maple leaves, Chinese bellflowers and stylized golden clouds and a fullness of embroidery -- there is basically no unadorned background field.

This fabric is a gradation style background (bokashi) with colors gradually transitioning down the gown; Primary background is shuiro (orange-red) with bokashi to softened deep blacks near the bottom; a visual feast.

The quality of this kimono -- both the amount and quality of the workmanship and composition -- is again remarkable.the sewing at all joining seams, front, back & sides appears almost seamless-- motifs remain unbroken as you look from front to back, torso to sleeves -- almost like a painting on a single cloth canvas; Breathtaking when seen in person.Another especially fine selection we are proud to offer at a price unheard of for this level gown.

This was made between 1990 to present.OUTSTANDING CONDITION (NO STAINS,ETC)

Full silk liner is shuiro (orange-red)
