Genuine vintage Japanese kimono.
This is called a HAORI.

One-of-a-kind-vintage.

Pattern name 毘沙門亀甲 Bishamon kikkou

The turtle shell pattern is believed to be associated with longevity, good health, and protection against evil because it protects the body as firmly as a turtle shell.

This fabric is called shibori.
Kimonos are dyed and embroidered using a variety of techniques, one of which is the “tie-dyeing” technique.
This is a technique in which fabrics are dyed by binding them with threads or sandwiched with a device to prevent dyeing, and then dyed with dyestuffs to create complex patterns.

 

I carefully handpicked this piece, which is in very good condition for a vintage garment.
