This listing is for a woman's tomesode kimono. See below for more information on these formal kimono.

Escape into a serene countryside where rolling hills, distant mountains, rustic huts, and winding paths unfold in warm earth tones, enriched with shimmering gold leaf and elegant couching details. The peaceful landscape evokes harmony, prosperity, and a deep connection to nature, while five paulownia family crests denote the kimono's highest level of formality and distinguished heritage. 

The fabric seems to be a synthetic blend, not silk, which is a rare thing but creates an easier-to-care-for garment.

There are signs of age with some discoloration and fading on the back which could be hidden under an obi - see last photo.  Priced accordingly.

If you'd like to display the kimono, we offer hanging rods in a variety of colors (brown, black, natural, white, and red) - see the Add a Display Rod? tab below.

If you'd like to wear or display this kimono with a traditional obi, browse our OBI section. Although it isn't traditional, if you'd like one of our simple cotton sashes to wear with this, we'll choose a complimenting color for (see Add a Sash? above).

Tomesode are among the most formal styles of kimono, traditionally worn by the mother of the bride or groom and other close family members at weddings. They typically feature one, three, or five family crests, with an elegant design concentrated along the lower hem.  See the video below for more!
