 SOLD Thank you! 
The color of this Japanese wedding gown (Uchikake kimono) is a deep cherry to scarlet red depending on the lighting. Please note the beautiful embroidery work on this gown, especially on the sleeves.

The kiku flowers crowd over the gold lattice with multiple colors of green leaves. Cranes, which symbolize family in Japan, fly over the plum and pine trees in the sky. In the designs of the lower half, there are flower carts and the seven wild flowers from autumn. In the background, there are square gold leaves in the lower half of the gown. The color of the gold leaves is matte finished. Most of the upper designs are done in Sagara embroidery with round knots and Nihon(Japan,Japanese) embroidery which uses unwound thread. Another beautiful wedding kimono. The condition is not new but excellent.

The measurements: 52 inches W x 77 inches L
