This listing is for an unusual - likely antique - cotton kimono meant for a small child.  The size is small and the sleeves are narrow, typical of what we see in photos of children in Japan in the early 1900s.

The dark indigo blue color is striking - it must have been stored well.  But even more interesting (to us) is the green striping on the outside, which could have been dyed with gardenia.  On the inside you'll see a kasuri ("fuzzy weave") fabric that also features a touch of green.  

The kimono could be displayed as shown or inside out, depending on your taste.  

The seam underneath the sleeve on the left side needs to be repaired if worn, but not noticeable if this is to be displayed or collected, see last photo. Very good condition given its age.  A stellar piece for the savvy collector.
