This listing is for a vintage Japanese kimono from the Fuller Collection (see details of that below).
This kimono features a cream background and an overall shibori pattern of small orange dots. Patterning at the shoulder, along the hem, and on the sleeves includes a series of folding fans in orange with colorful florals decorating the fan and clustered around the motif as well. Lots of pucker - a desirable quality of shbori work.
Some slight mottling on the lining, see photo.
We do offer hanging rods for displaying kimono - click here to browse the options.
The Fuller Collection – originally over 2000 kimono – was the passion and pride
of Richard Fuller of Chicago, IL and Wabasha,MN. Richard served as a US Marine
in post-war Japan, and there began his love of and appreciation for vintage
Japanese kimono – especially wedding kimono. Richard saw that the mastery and
artisanship of traditional Japanese textile techniques was waning – threatening
to die out altogether – which sparked his mission to promote this industry and
preserve what he could. Click here to read one of his interviews.
Together with his wife Janith, Richard invested in thousands of kimono and
obi, opening Wind Whisper West, a kimono gallery in Wabasha, MN in 2003. Most
of the collection was sold there, but several hundred pieces remain. Richard
passed in 2020, and Janith has consigned the remainder of the collection to
Kyoto Kimono to offer through our website. We are honored and proud to be
stewarding the Fuller Collection as each piece finds its new home and continues
to bring wonder and beauty to admirers around the world.
