Beautiful embroidered *tsukesage*! This is a *tsukesage* with a slightly glossy grayish-purple background featuring a *michiyou-dori* pattern within *shikishi* (decorative paper). Delicate silver thread embroidery and Shantou embroidery are used. Auspicious motifs such as *kikkou hanabishi* (tortoise shell and flower diamond) and *shippou hanabishi* (seven treasures and flower diamond) are included. Although all are classic patterns, the light colors give the overall impression a clean look. Hand-sewn. *Note: The hem is a bit short.* The photos show the *tsukesage* paired with a *kumiori* (braided) *share-fukuro obi* (stylish formal obi) that is made into a *tsukuri-obi* (pre-tied obi). The price is for the kimono only. Length: 158.5 cm Sleeve to sleeve: 65 cm Sleeve length: 47 cm Front width: 22.5 cm Back width: 29 cm
