Description
This Japanese kimono probably dates from sometime between the 1930’s and the1950’s based on the design in the weave. (Kimono experts feel free to correct me!) It is traditionally made, not a Western “kimono” style with a belt, and is therefore hand stitched. The bright purple and pale grey silk outer layer has large checkerboard designs woven in it. The inside of the neckline and sleeves is lined with a contrasting bright red fabric. It is in very good condition, with some minor flaws, and one spot on the left front side (see pic).
