Please note that I am not knowledgeable about kimonos. This item has been stored at my parents' home for many years. I believe it is in beautiful condition, having been used perhaps once. My mother loves kimonos and bought many, but this one seems to have been used only once or so, and I think it's in beautiful condition. The ocher/chestnut-colored part has a different weave/braid than the dark green part, and feels a bit stiff. Gold threads are woven throughout, giving it a touch of glamour to the subdued colors. Length: approximately 152 cm, tassel part approximately 5 cm. It will be shipped without a case, wrapped in bubble wrap, etc. Thank you for looking.
