This is a kimono by Masao Aida, a Komon artisan who dedicated his life to Edo Komon. The high-quality crepe fabric in iron navy (a slightly greenish navy) is beautifully dyed with "Tokusa-jima Bokashi" (horsetail stripe gradation). The pattern created by short lines has various expressions depending on the viewing angle. From a distance, it's a beautiful striped gradation that looks like water constantly flowing; up close, it's a sophisticated design with floating dots. It's a gem of a piece that allows you to feel the craftsmanship that cannot be faked because of its simplicity. (The obi in the image, #504mn6, and accessories are reference items and are not included in this item). The "Tokusa Katsuo-jima" (horsetail and skipjack tuna stripe) featured on the Aida Dyeing Workshop's website is a kimono that is not influenced by trends and will accept any obi. Please take this opportunity to welcome this work of art by the late, great artisan who pursued his love for Edo Komon. There is a signature on the right lapel. It is a beautiful item with no notable damage. 【Material】Silk 【Color】Iron Navy 【Size】裄 (sleeve length): 67.4cm, Length (from shoulder): 165cm, Sleeve width: 34.2cm, Sleeve length: 52.7cm, Front width: 25.4cm, Back width: 31.1cm, Yoke seam allowance (body side): 2.1cm, Sleeve side: 1.2cm, Hem allowance: 2.8cm This is a very rare and high-quality item, so how about it?
