Condition and age: This series of genuine vintage Japanese silk kimono coats, were acquired during the early days of Ebay global internet sales in 2004-2005. At the time we all enjoyed this new opportunity of owning estate goods of good value for very reasonable prices. I loved the vintage artisan skills and quality of hand crafted silk garments made in Japan.
Most of my pieces were never worn, bought in new condition and carefully stored for many years.
This michiyuki or coat, is a traditional item to be worn over a long kimono for outdoor purposes . Vintage authentic Japanese hand made silk garment, in a lovely shade of fushia, with a lily motif weave of silk fabric of great quality. The lining is a smooth light pale off white silk fabric with a pink chrysanthemum design. The basting treads are still there on the sleeve cuffs. There is no damage or stains or odor, has not been handled and remains in the unworn state I got it in from Japan.
The measurements are 34 inches long from top of shoulder to bottom hem, with an overall size of 46 inches at hip and waist when closed. Has 2 ties inside and tiny snaps for fastening the neck collar and the edges, with an invisible pocket above the second button
