This elegant kimono features a refined sobagiri (buckwheat noodle) color ground with a gracefully carved lily motif, created using the Itto-bori (one-knife carving) technique. This versatile piece can be worn as either a komon (small-patterned) or iromuji (single-color) kimono, offering two distinct looks. It's perfect for everyday occasions, such as strolling through the city, dining with friends, visiting museums, attending the theater, or participating in large tea ceremonies, adding a touch of sophistication to your daily attire. The lily symbolizes "purity," "innocence," and "dignity." The single flower subtly blooming on the pale ground enhances the wearer's graceful presence. The Itto-bori technique involves carving the design directly onto the fabric with a specialized knife equipped with a needle, followed by dyeing using the hiki-zome (pull-dyeing) method. This unique technique prevents the fabric from thinning even after repeated color removal and changes, allowing you to enjoy the freshly dyed texture for a long time. The pale sobagiri color complements the complexion beautifully and is a versatile shade that pairs well with various obi (sashes) and accessories. It can be styled elegantly with a plain obi, or more casually with a soft-colored or patterned obi, and can be adapted to the season with different accessories. This is a reliable piece that is "just right" for those days when you're unsure what to wear, and it's a valuable addition to your wardrobe. The garment is meticulously hand-sewn by skilled artisans. The supple feel of the silk is also a pleasure to wear. This is a brand-new, unworn item, only dressed for photography, and still has its basting threads. Embrace quiet elegance and elevate your everyday style. We confidently recommend this kimono as a piece that will stay with you for a long time.
