Hand-painted Kyo-Yuzen Luxurious Furisode (Unsewn) Original Price: 1,078,000 yen Kyoto Dyeing Artisan Kubo Kou "Kubo Kou" creates kimonos in Kitashirakawa, at the foot of Mt. Hiei. With over sixty years of history, "Kubo Kou" has inherited the will of its founder, Kotaro Kubo, and continues to preserve the heart and skills of master craftsmen, the advanced techniques and refined designs of Kyo-Yuzen, and pass them on to the present day. This is an item from quite a while ago. It is genuine Itome, hand-painted Kyo-Yuzen. Its characteristic is its colorful and gorgeous pictorial pattern dyeing, also known as Hon-Yuzen. Itome is a pattern dyeing method using paste to prevent dyeing. When dyed, the outlines of the patterns remain white, and it looks like threads have been drawn, hence the name. It is a representative of dyed kimonos. The 500-year-old Nishijin techniques are fully felt in this item. It is a top-of-the-line Kyo-Yuzen, with auspicious patterns hand-painted throughout on purple-blue somber rinzu fabric, with gold-komo embroidery. It is a gem with a graceful and refined classical pattern, and both the colors and patterns exude elegance. There are some fold creases, but it has been carefully stored, so the condition is very good.
