Lovely Vintage Deep Blue-Green Silk Bell Flower Design Kimono: ‘Kikyo'
Lovely Deep Blue-Green Bell Flower Design Kimono
...
I grew up with kimono and this is from my
personal selection
series of Kimono and kitsuke accessories; items that I find to exhibit a special quality, either
exceptional design, superior workmanship or just something quintessentially Japanese about them…
The design is of gorgeous clusters of Bell Flowers “Kikyo” in pink & white
on a luxurious dark, blue-green silk background. It has a scarlet red lining. The artwork is absolutely stunning!
It is in excellent condition for it’s age and has been carefully stored so it is clean and has no apparent stains or odor. It came from Kanazawa “little Kyoto” and was no doubt owned by someone of wealth and social standing as it would have been very costly when new.
It comes in the protective washi paper Tatoushi case seen in the last photo. See photos for measurements and other details!

Alternatively, for an additional charge, YAMATO INTERNATIONAL offers extremely fast door to door service for a flat-rate for their various size boxes. The smallest “60cm” box is to most countries, can hold up to two kg and measures 27 X 19 X 19cm and arrives in about a week.
