AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
DESCRIPTION:
This refined kurotomesode (黒留袖) kimono is an exquisite example of traditional Japanese formal wear. The deep black base color symbolizes elegance and solemnity, making it appropriate for the most formal occasions such as weddings and ceremonial events.
This particular piece is a unique artisan-made work (作家物), identifiable by the artist’s signature seal found on the lower section of the garment. The kimono features a sophisticated and richly detailed floral landscape along the hem, executed with meticulous attention to traditional motifs and color harmony.
In addition, the presence of five family crests (kamon) on the shoulders and back signifies its high rank among formal wear. This black tomesode embodies refined aesthetics, cultural significance, and the dignified elegance of Japanese craftsmanship, making it a stunning item for both wearing and collecting.

Seller's Story
We have been experienced as an antique dealer for more than a decade, we select and purchase high-quality products from all over Japan. I carefully select items with good taste, whether famous or not. I offer you an encounter with unknown Japanese goods.
Owner Profile
Name: Michito Nagahiro
Born in 1986 in Sapporo, Hokkaido. From an early age, I have been fascinated by the beautiful and practical designs of Japanese art, antiques, and consumer products, as well as the mindset and dedication of craftsmen and artists. I frequently visited museums and solo exhibitions as part of my daily life.
In 2012, under the guidance of a top mentor in the industry, I established myself as an antique dealer, handling a wide range of items, including Japanese antiques and artworks. Since 2017, I have specialized in selling Japanese antiques and fine art, primarily in Europe, achieving over 20,000 successful sales to date.
In 2019, I launched a completely free service to support individuals in Japan who experience loneliness. This initiative involves personally visiting people, engaging in conversations, sharing meals, and, if necessary, providing career advice. More than 1,000 people reach out to me annually for support.
Additionally, I am committed to promoting and supporting the sales of emerging artists whose work has not yet received public recognition. My philosophy goes beyond merely selling objects—I strive to convey the stories, history, and emotions embedded in each piece. By doing so, I aim to connect people with the lives of the artists and bring inspiration to those who encounter their work.
