This listing is for a vintage Japanese wedding kimono (kakeshita - a kimono layer worn under the uchikake).

Gorgeous "Japanese red" background with an overall stenciled pattern of gold curls. Beneath the curls are dozens upon dozens of chrysanthemum blossoms in orange, purple, green and cream.

At the hem and all around the edges of the kimono are layered silk folds, meant to represent the many layers worn beneath a wedding kimono back in the Edo Period.

Small white elaborate floral knots (hanamusubi) appear at the wrist of each sleeve.

We offer sturdy wooden rods for hanging these dazzling displays - see options below.
