Visiting Dress (Kari-eba - Unsewn) New, Unused Original Price: ¥493,500 This is a shibori (tie-dye) Tsujigahana visiting dress. The shibori is used in the floral sections. It's difficult to see in the photos, but delicate gold leaf is applied throughout, and lavishly scattered around the flowers. The elegant blue-gray color has a refined feel, and the beautiful design features tortoiseshell patterns, basket weave patterns, and flowers vividly depicted. About the Basket Weave Pattern: This can also be seen as a star-shaped pattern, and is considered a continuous pattern of protective symbols, such as the "pentagram" and "hexagram." Subtle gold thread embroidery is also included, making this a piece that showcases excellent craftsmanship. It is very beautiful at first glance. This is a refined kimono that can be worn not only for formal occasions, but also for casual outings. ⚠️ This is a Kari-eba (unsewn) item that has been stored at home for a long time. Please understand that it is an old item, including any potential odors. ⚠️ There may be very minor stains. Please refrain from purchasing if you are looking for a perfect item like those sold in stores. While there are many wonderful, brand-new items available today, the excellence and charm of older techniques increase in value with the passage of time. I ask that those who understand this purchase the item. ⚠️ ⚠️ The photos are not edited in any way, but they were taken with a smartphone. It is difficult to capture the exact same colors, and there will inevitably be differences between the actual item and the photos due to lighting conditions. Please be sure to understand this before purchasing. Please comment if you have any questions.
