It looks like it's never been worn, or at least that's the impression I get. It's a very old item. My mother is giving up her kimonos because her eyesight is failing, and I'm not knowledgeable about kimonos at all. I'm not even sure if this is a formal visiting kimono (houmongi), so I may be mislabeling it. Also, it's difficult to spread out the kimono, so please make your purchase based on the pattern and be satisfied with it. I will note any issues I find. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about details. Recently, a kimono buyer called Fukuchan came to evaluate the items. They took a large quantity of obi sashes at a bargain price, but they said there wasn't much demand for visiting kimonos, so they wouldn't take them. They said everything is in good condition, with no mold. This is for those who want to casually wear a kimono. *We will ship with simple packaging.*
