This listing is for a vintage, formal, Japanese kimono
called a tomesode (sometimes called kurosode or "Mother of the
Bride" kimono), which are typically reserved for very formal occasions, such as
weddings or performances. There are always at least three - but usually five -
family crests on the upper section (one at the neck, one on the back of each
sleeve, and one on each side of the collar) and an elegant design that
stretches across the entire hemline, with more of the image in the front, where
it would be seen best.
This tomesode features a soft, light, pastel palette and a fan and floral
design. Several elements suggest that this kimono is from the 1920s or 1930s:
the patterning extends quite high on the kimono - almost to the waist - the
pattern continues along the inside lining of the kimono, and the "mirror"
design across the front two panels are all features of kimono from this
timeframe.
The colors and design are typical of kimono from the 1920s but if it is that
old, the lining has been replaced (it would have been red). In fact, this white
lining is a jacquard weave with a tone-on-tone crane pattern - quite modern.
The family crest is combination of wisteria and bush clover.
