Authentic Japanese Kimono | Vintage | Komon | Silk Crape Fall Plants Prints

👘 This komon kimono patterned with fall plants (or “akikusa” in Japanese) is made of natural silk. 🎨 The colour of it is cream white, which is a little challenging to capture correctly via pictures. I think the first four pictures reflects the true colour fairly well. The pattern is a mid tone grey, same as the bottom inner layer (or “hakkake” in Japanese). 🧵 Crape (or “chirimen” in Japanese) refers to a traditional Japanese weaving technique where the weft thread is tighter than the warp thread during weaving process, resulting in the unique texture as you can see from the close-up pictures. 👠The style of this kimono is called Komon, a casual wear similar to T-shirts and can be worn to a coffee shop or lunch date. This should be worn only during Fall, as many kimonos have patterns that represents the season. ⚠️There are some yellowing to the bottom of the sleeves, as you can see from the pictures. 🪡 I think this can be worn casually. 📏For measures, please refer to the last photo Who am I: a Toronto-based kimono enthusiast 👘🍁🇨🇦
