A formal Japanese black tomesode kimono made of silk, featuring an elegant ume (plum blossom) and pine tree motif, symbols of longevity and celebration in Japanese culture. The refined design is executed in traditional yūzen dyeing with embroidered details, concentrated in the lower part of the garment, which is characteristic of formal tomesode worn on ceremonial occasions. The kimono is finished with five family crests (itsutsumon), indicating the highest level of formality. This piece includes a hibiki (layered collar) structure and bears a signature seal, though the artist cannot be identified with certainty. A dignified and timeless example of 20th-century Japanese formal wear, suitable for collectors of Japanese textiles or traditional garments.
