Vintage Japanese Houmongi Kimono Skirt AYAME
$226.40
This eye-catching skirt is crafted from an antique Japanese Sarasa **Houmongi kimono. Japanese Sarasa is a type of Japanese Kimono fabric with a chintz pattern printed. Sarasa was originally a woodblock printed, painted, or stained calico produced in India from 1600 to 1800. Sarasa's very exotic designs became very popular and the Japanese artist developed and created their own unique pattern and techniques.
Japanese kimonos are traditionally an assembly of long rectangular panels of fabric, and seven of these were seamed together to create this skirt. Due to the drape of the skirt, the seams are however not very noticeable when it is worn.
The skirt also comes with a removable waist tie which accentuates your waistline as well as creates a feminine silhouette. Gathered at the waist, with an elastic waistband to fit various body shapes/sizes.
**Houmongi is a semi-formal kimono for women

❂ CARE
This item is 100% silk and we strongly recommend you to DRY CLEAN the item. Silk is a very delicate fabric and normal wash may change the texture and sheen of the fabric.
Silk can get wrinkled if it is left folded for a longer period, and therefore the item may have some wrinkles when you receive it. You can however easily remove these with ironing. Make sure to set the iron to a low temperature and press it down on the fabric from the backside with a piece of thin cotton (e.g. handkerchief) in between to prevent direct heat on the silk.
We will also include detailed care instructions with your product.
