Description: This is a beautiful silk Japanese wedding kimono or uchikake (worn over a white ceremonial wedding kimono). It has a profusion of beautiful flowers in red, white, gold and green on a black field. The gold is fabric paint which is shiny and smooth to the touch. The lovely interior is a brilliant red and pure white. The sleeves are long, and the long hem has a padded roll within. The seams are nicely matched. See final two photographs. Please take a look at all of the pictures and note the measurements indicated below. Pictures are as follows: 1 Front, 2 Back, 3-5 Front, 6 Open, 7-8 Matched Seams
Seller's Note: Ordinarily I sell table linens and am unfamiliar with cultural meanings and requirements of selling an item such as this. Thus I may not have anticipated your questions. Please feel free to ask any questions that you might have. I will be happy to add photos if you need more of them.
Condition: Excellent condition. I believe that one of our residents returned from a trip to Japan with this item. I do not believe that it has ever been worn by a bride. I find no holes, stains, or missed stitching. It is clean and fresh.
Price: $189.00
