Yuzen
- Ships from NY
- One-of-a-kind
- Sourced from Japan
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 three costumed Kabuki actors, likely from a play favored
by the original owner. The wild mane of red hair is usually associated with
Renjishi, but in this case all three actors have long red hair. Perhaps it is
Renjishi in three different costumes...
The design was made using the yuzen technique of stencil and brush dye work -

The family crest is paulownia.
