The piece embodies a bold expression of sensuality, a characteristic sometimes subtly celebrated in traditional Japanese art. This historical artifact shows signs of wear consistent with its age, including marks, stains, and general aging. There is a chip in part of the kimono. For a closer inspection of its condition, please see the attached photographs.
