This listing is for a vintage Japanese iromuji kimono. Learn more about this type of kimono below.

A sky full of quiet texture gives this pinkish purple iromuji its dreamy appeal, with a luminous tone-on-tone jacquard of layered drifting clouds flowing across the silk. A single stitched paulownia crest accents the back -- a motif traditionally associated with nobility, good fortune, and grace.

Signs of age are present, including a couple of very small blemishes on the collar and lower front panel, see last photos.

Iromuji kimono are traditionally designed in a single color, allowing the beauty of the fabric and craftsmanship to take center stage. Many feature a subtle woven pattern or tone-on-tone jacquard that adds quiet texture and elegance without distracting from their refined simplicity. This understated style makes iromuji especially well-suited for tea ceremony, where quiet refinement is essential.

The belt is not included, but if you'd like to wear or display this kimono with a traditional obi, browse our selection of OBI BELTS. 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 (see Add a Sash? above).
