"Embroidered Bamboo" Wedding Kimono (Kakeshita) Gorgeous tangerine orange background with an amazing amount of hand embroidery. In fact, all of the design elements were embroidered. A bamboo grove at the hem, with festive floral sprays, tied with tassles and with fortunes (?) peeking out at one end. Truth be told, we aren't really sure what these are or symbolize - they're quite stylised and so heavily embroidered. Turquoise, green and other colors, along with lots of gold and silver, all seem to flow together. This is a kakeshita style of wedding kimono, with a lighter weight silk and a lighter padding at the hem. It can be belted. ___________________ Silk Lined? yes Length=68" Wrist-to-Wrist=50" Hips/waist (includes overlap)=52" Condition: Very Good - Small blemish on the middle back and a large blemish on the front collar, but would be covered up when worn.
