Bold and playful, this vintage girl's kimono makes a striking statement with oversized swirling curls in brilliant red, soft blue, and white. The sweeping, abstract design has a distinctly retro feel, with graceful spirals that create a sense of movement across the lightweight, airy ro silk fabric. The unlined construction and open-weave texture make this a lovely summer kimono.

Signs of age and use include light blemishes on both the front and back of the kimono, see last photos.

This kimono has a 14" tuck at the waist and a 3" tuck at each shoulder. These can be taken out to allow for more length and width if desired.

Children's summer kimono were designed to be lightweight and comfortable during Japan's warmer months, often featuring cheerful colors, playful patterns, and breathable fabrics. More refined than everyday cotton yukata, silk summer kimono could be worn for seasonal celebrations, family outings, festivals, and other warm-weather occasions. Fabrics such as ro silk feature a distinctive open weave that allows air to circulate, combining traditional Japanese craftsmanship with practical summer comfort.
