Japanese Young Boy's Kimono, Betty Boop, Kewpie Doll

This is a fabulous young boy's kimono with a cool art deco design. Betty Boop sits on a circus ball, while a dancing elephant and birthday-suited Kewpie doll wave the Japanese flag. More circus references (clown) + the iconic black cat w/arched back. Cute rabbit dressed in green polka dot shirt dances on another ball.

Made of padded silk.

CONDITION
Fair. This kimono seems to have been well-loved -- lots of wear (stains) but no tears. The quality of the design makes up for condition.
