A Child's "Farmer" Cotton Shima Kimono: Stripes

ca. early twentieth century 27" x 32 1/2", 68.5 cm x 81.5 cm Absolutely charming, this is a mini nagagi, or long coat, made for a child, most likely from repurposed cloth, probably from the child's parents' cast-off clothing. Beautifully faded, this indigo dyed striped cotton kimono shows some repairs to the sleeves (see detail photos) and has a lovely, long silk tie. The interior is fitted with faded indigo cotton linings.
