Brown regional luxury silk kimono

Doro oshima tsumugi silk is an especially fine luxury silk that  is made in the Kagoshima prefecture.  It is an ikat textile which means the threads are dyed before the silk is loomed.  The rich brown color is created through the use of mud in the process.  This is a very handsome  and sophisticated kimono that is 44 inches long and has a shoulder seam distance of 26 inches.  The vintage condition is very good; the lining shows aging.
