Kimono Artist Signed / Vintage deals Japanese Silk Tomesode/ Cranes / Handpainted Yuzen/ Vintage Japanese Silk Kimono / Gift for Her / Geisha Robe
This is a lovely SILK VINTAGE KIMONO for women called a KuroTomesode. The work-of-art pattern is artist signed / seal on the front panel, hand-dyed, yuzen handpainted and it is a beautiful design of Japanese red-headed cranes flying among traditional flowers covering the bottom of the kimono as is traditional in Tomesode. It has Five very pretty mon (family or okiya (geisha house) crests) on the back and front. It is fully lined with white silk and a hiyoku in very good condition with no stains, odors or issues other than a few stains on the lining where they won't be visible when worn or displayed. Probably 1980's-1990's. Spectacular wearable art, wonderful for remake, for wearing or for home or corporate office decor!
A black kimono patterned only below the waistline, kurotomesode are the most formal kimono for married women. They are still often worn by the mothers of the bride and groom at weddings. In Japan I have seen these remade into modern western-style wedding garments for the brides relatives and thus carry the ancient tradition into modern day.

This is in excellent wearable condition with bright colors. It would also make a gorgeous statement piece for a wall. It is simply beautiful! It could be deals disassembled for the many yards of gorgeous fabric to make pillows, hangings, clothing etc. but it is lovely to wear.

These kimonos or haoris are Recycled Vintage or Antique items and may have small stains, age spots or other spots that I haven't found. I only mention notable or material stains and not minor stains that should be expected in vintage/antique garments. Even unworn garments may have age or starch spots from storage. I have not dry cleaned them unless stated, so if this would be an issue for you then please understand that these are NOT new before purchasing.
