This is a lovely genuine Japanese tomesode/wedding kimono/gown/coat, in very good vintage condition.

The delightful designs are of 2 green pheasants (kiji bird) with some gold couching.

The colours in the design are mostly green, blue and beige. The kiji bird is the national bird of Japan.

There are 5 'mon' or family crests, denoting that this is a formal kimono. There is some hand stitching.

The fabric is a good weight black silk crepe (chirimen) with a matte firm texture. This fabric is more suited to a coat than a robe for the boudoir.

The kimono is in very good used condition, no noticeable marks or flaws.

Great to wear as traditional costume, or as a coat, maybe for cosplay or festivals also.

Traditional kimono styling, with square shaped sleeves and a wrap front, which makes the fit very adaptable. 

This tomesode would have been worn with an obi sash. I have several obi for sale in separate listings.

I also have coloured obijime cords if you prefer. Please message me if interested.

Please check measurements carefully and make your choice.  In my opinion this should comfortably fit a size small/medium or UK 10-12 approximately. A very long garment.

Sleeve-sleeve  49.6" 126cm    length 63.4" 161cm    shoulder to shoulder 24.6" 62.5cm    Weight 1300 grams  (all  approximate)

Vintage garments do not have fabric content or care labels. All details are given in good faith and from information received from Japan.
