This is a rare man's formal silk kimono, called a "noshime." It is a classical Japanese costume specially worn under a kamishimo ensemble (kataginu vest and hakama pants). Made of a high-quality habutae satin silk, and lined with a dark indigo-dyed silk. The plaid pattern, placed around the mid-section of the garment, is a special characteristic of noshime kimono. The sleeves are attached to the body of the garment; the sleeve openings are the same as for kimono. It has 3 large crests (on back). Noshime (w/kamishimo) originated many centuries ago as a costume worn by the narrators/singers for Noh and Kyogen theater. It is still worn in this capacity today. This garment is in excellent condition. Seems to hardly have been worn. Only one very slight stain on the front lapel (I tried to photograph this, but it is so slight, it didn't come out!). Dates from the 1930s-1940s. Measurements: 53 in. (134.6 cm) long; 50 in. (127 cm) wide (sleeve to sleeve) The ground color of this noshime is a dark olive green. THIS ITEM IS AVAILABLE.
