AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description
This is a traditional Japanese houmongi kimono, a semi-formal silk garment traditionally worn for ceremonial occasions such as weddings, tea ceremonies, and formal visits. The kimono is crafted from silk in a deep taupe-brown ground color, accented with a fine white dotted pattern (kanoko-style) woven throughout the fabric.
The design features an elegant asymmetrical floral motif rendered in soft ivory, sage green, and muted lavender tones, with delicate gold-thread accents. Clusters of small blossoms, foliage, and trailing vines cascade across the hem (suso) and continue up the front panels and sleeves, in the classic houmongi style where the pattern flows continuously across the seams. A smaller embroidered floral cluster appears on the upper chest area, echoing the larger hem design.
The kimono is lined and finished with hand-stitched details along the seams and collar, consistent with traditional tailoring methods. Purple tassels with gold fan-shaped ornaments are shown for display purposes on the hanger and are not included with the garment.
