✿ Condition & Background
From my personal collection; I wear kimono almost daily and curate carefully. Believed to be unworn and long-term stored; overall excellent vintage condition. Minor age-related notes (see photos):
- Faint gold transfer on a red panel (likely storage contact with gold-painted areas).
- Very slight pigment loss on one butterfly wing where metallic detailing rubbed.
Both are subtle and do not detract when worn. Fully wearable and well-kept.
✿ Color & Care
Colors may vary slightly due to lighting and screens. Dry clean recommended; air gently in shade for 1–2 hours after wear. Store in a breathable cover.
✿ Policy
Vintage item sold as-is. While described and photographed with care, light age-related nuances are possible. Due to the nature of second-hand goods, no returns or exchanges.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if a kimono will fit me?
Height: Length (身丈) ≈ your height ±5 cm (you adjust length with the ohashori fold).
Yuki (裄): Neck center → wrist bone. The kimono’s yuki should be close (±2 cm usually fine).
Body width: Maehaba (front) + Ushirohaba (back). As a rough guide, this total should exceed half your hip circumference for good overlap.
What do the kimono types mean?
Komon: All-over small pattern; casual to smart-casual.
Iromuji: Solid color; versatile/tea practice; semi-formal.
Tsukesage / Hōmongi: Pattern flows across seams; semi-formal to formal.
Furisode: Long sleeves; formal.
How are conditions graded?
Rank SS: New, never worn.

How to reduce vintage odors?
Air in shade over several days; store with neutral charcoal or deodorizing sachets. Don’t spray perfume directly on silk.
