Vintage Japanese kimono black silk kurotomesode with sensu fans

Description

This kimono is in excellent condition. It's quite modern and has only been worn a few times. The design motif includes fans, or sensu, with many gold accents.

Kurotomesode are the most formal kimono worn by married women. You'd see this sort of thing on the mother of the bride at a wedding, for example. In the US they are very popular for interior decor and I've seen several hung on the walls of Asian- or Japanese-themed spas here on the west coast. It would also make a great costume for Halloween or for any formal event where you'd like to make a statement.
