Black Formal Kimono KUROTOMESODE #17 | Vintage Japanese Silk Kimono

Elegant Kurotomesode Black Formal Kimono featuring a rare exotic-style motif with Japanese flowers and Phoenix.

The design is carefully painted or printed, then accented with delicate Japanese satin embroidery on the front panel — a striking example of late-Showa artisan craftsmanship.

This piece is well tailored with both machine and hand-sewn finishes, showing excellent vintage preservation.

**Please note that this kimono is not a HIKI-FURISODE (train style); the trailing look in the photos is for styling reference only.

Condition: Excellent vintage.
No visible stains or damage on the outer fabric. There is a slight stain on the inner lining of the sleeve opening, but it is not visible when worn. Slight natural tackiness on some painted areas due to age, not affecting appearance or wear.
No noticeable signs of wear — excellent vintage condition.

Storage advice: Store with tissue paper between folds in a dry, dark place.
