This listing is for a woman’s kimono made with black lightweight ro silk, a semi-sheer fabric traditionally worn during the summer months. Your kimono may have one, three, or five family crests (kamon), depending on the original garment.

Known as a mofuku kimono, this style was originally made for mourning and is still traditionally worn to funeral services with a formal black obi. Its understated elegance and timeless design also make it a wonderful study piece for collectors interested in traditional Japanese formal wear.

Sizing varies slightly, but most pieces will fit approximately US women's sizes 4 to 12, depending on your preferred amount of overlap at the waist and hips. Please compare your measurements with those listed. Measurements are taken from edge to edge and include the overlap, with any extra length traditionally adjusted under the obi at the waist.

Each kimono bears its own unique family crest. The photos show examples only, and the crests on the kimono you receive may differ. Specific crest requests cannot be accommodated.
