This kimono is characterized by its subdued pattern. I was drawn to the pattern about 10 years ago and bought it, but it's been stored in a chest ever since. I don't know what weave it is, but it has a nice, calm pattern. It's new, and I haven't even put my arms through the sleeves, but upon inspection, I found something like a stain on the lining of the sleeve. I have no opportunity to wear it, so would anyone like to wear it? This item has been stored at home. Thank you for your understanding.
