Item Description
This vividly coloured silk kimono presents a striking two-tone composition of rich cobalt blue and ivory white, woven with a subtle interlocking wave-style rinzu pattern that catches the light as the fabric moves.

The garment is decorated with a series of crests (mon) set within hexagonal tortoiseshell-style (kikko) frames, arranged across the sleeves and body in gold, silver, and deep purple tones. Rather than a single family crest repeated in the manner typically seen on formal tomesode or houmongi kimono, this piece combines several different mon designs within its hexagonal medallions. This kind of composite, decorative crest treatment is more commonly associated with performing-arts groups, kabuki-related "yakusha mon" (actor crests), trade guilds, or supporter associations, rather than representing a single family's registered crest. No maker's label, woven signature, or authentication tag could be located on the piece, so its precise origin and the meaning behind the crest combination cannot be confirmed.

A matching obi is included with the kimono.

Measurements taken with the garment laid flat (see accompanying photo for the corresponding reference points): A 140 cm, B 64.5 cm, C 33 cm, D 43.5 cm, E 23 cm, F 29 cm.
The obi measures approximately 370 cm in length and 10 cm in width.

Condition
Close inspection reveals light staining around the collar and sleeve openings, noticeable mainly at close range, along with scattered faint white snag-like scuff marks across the fabric. Aside from these signs of age and handling, the blue and white colour contrast remains vivid and attractive. The obi shows a permanent crease line from previous folding, and additional fold marks may appear after this piece is folded again for shipping.
