Antique Blue Japanese Uchikake Wedding Kimono
w/ Embroidery
For your consideration is this antique blue Japanese wedding kimono with embroidered rice plants in gold.  This is such a dynamic contrast which, when displayed, will bring any room to life!  This uchikake dates back to the middle of the Meiji Era (1865 - 1912).  There are five paulownia mons which means it was more suitable for formal occasions.  The interior lining is a red crepe silk, and the exterior lining is a deep blue.  There are some minor thread pulls in the fabric, but overall, this kimono would be considered in excellent condition for its antique state.  (R898/2410
