Luxuriöses Kuro-Tomesode – Koma-Stickerei mit Hamamatsu-Falzung - Seide - Japan - Spätes 20. Jahrhundert bis frühes 21. Jahrhundert (Heisei-Ära)

This is an exquisite Kuro-Tomesode (black formal kimono), a masterpiece representing the pinnacle of Japanese ceremonial attire. The garment features the prestigious Koma-shishu (satin stitch embroidery) technique, showcasing the traditional Hamamatsu Hiogi Kissho Hanamon (Hamamatsu folding fan with auspicious floral motifs) design. The composition is enriched with Kinzai (gold embellishments), creating a luxurious and refined appearance.
Kuro-Tomesode is the most formal kimono for married women in Japan, traditionally worn at weddings and important ceremonies. The black background symbolizes elegance and dignity, while the elaborate embroidery at the hem represents wishes for prosperity and happiness. The Hamamatsu folding fan motif is particularly auspicious, symbolizing the spreading of good fortune and the broadening of one's future.
This kimono is crafted from pure silk (正絹/Shōken), ensuring exceptional quality, drape, and luster. The intricate embroidery work demonstrates the skill of master artisans, combining traditional techniques with artistic excellence. The pristine condition with original basting threads (仕付け糸) still intact indicates that this is an unworn or rarely worn piece, preserved in its original state.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a museum-quality Japanese formal kimono that embodies centuries of textile tradition and craftsmanship.
