Dancing Umbrellas Kimono

Description: This vibrant vintage komon kimono showcases a richly detailed pattern of traditional Japanese umbrellas (wagasa) interwoven with delicate floral motifs. The umbrellas are dynamically arranged in overlapping layers and rendered in a lively palette of red, purple, mustard, white, and soft gray, accented with seasonal flowers such as chrysanthemums. Set against a deep navy background, the color appear vivid and striking, lending the piece a bold yet refined elegance. The overall design evokes a festive, cultural atmosphere with a strong sense of traditional artistry. The inner lining is a gentle, soft pink, adding a subtle contrast and a touch of femininity to the garment.

Fabric: Made from a synthetic silk blend that is exceptionally soft with an organic, natural feel. The fabric has a slight texture—possibly similar to chirimen (crepe)—which enhances the visual depth of the intricate design. The color are rich and well-preserved, suggesting the use of high-quality dyes and traditional techniques such as resist-dyeing or stenciling.

Condition: Very good vintage condition. The fabric is structurally sound and holds its shape well. While vintage, there are no visible signs of wear, fading, or damage—the design remains crisp and vibrant.

Style: A classic komon kimono, recognised by its repeating all-over pattern. Its playful yet traditional motif makes it well-suited for casual to semi-formal settings, especially cultural events, seasonal outings, or festivals. The artistry of the design captures the spirit of Japanese seasonal beauty and textile craftsmanship.
