Vintage Japanese Silk Kimono Hot Pink w Satin Swirl Pattern

This is a stunningly striking Japanese silk kimono made in a hot pink colour with lighter pink decoration.  There are no labels nor is there any closure - one would normally wear an obi with this, but none is supplied.  The kimono is unlined and it is hand sewn.

Fabric:  There is no content label, but I’m fairly sure that the fabric is silk.  

Age: Unsure of the age of this Japanese silk kimono, but I would think mid-century, 1950s-60s

Sizing:  This Japanese silk kimono should fit a range of sizes, but please note the following measurements for fit:

Top:  50” across the top with the shoulders and sleeves in a straight line

Shoulders:  24” across from shoulder seam to shoulder seam - the shoulder drops onto the upper arm

Sleeves:  12 3/4” long from shoulder seam with a 28” long sleeve drop

Bust:  46” around with a normal overlap at the opening, but meant to hang loosely, and measurement depends on amount of overlap

Waist:  46” around, but meant to be cinched with the matching belt

Length:  58”, measured flat at the back from the neck seam

Condition: This Japanese silk kimono is in very good condition - the exterior is very clean without noted wear, tear, staining, soiling or odour, but there is one small smudge mark at the opening edge (see last close-up photo) that I haven’t tried to remove, very minor in any case.

This is a striking Japanese silk kimono.... fabulous colour!
