"Pine and Dandy" Wedding Kimono (Kakeshita)

More beautiful than it might appear in the photos, this elegant wedding kimono is a corally red that goes so well with the different tones of green!

A pine bough design along the hem and sleeves, all hand painted, with some of the boughs filled with traditional floral or geometric motifs.

Everything outlined in a thin border of gold leaf with occasional gold couching.

This is a kakeshita style of wedding kimono, with a lighter weight silk and a lighter padding at the hem. It can be belted but also makes a dramatic display.
