A stunning early 20th century ai-zome chirimen Kimono decorated top to bottom with dragonflies flitting through tall bamboo grass. The cloth is in excellent condition, with no stains and is over 4 feet long, and 4 feet wide at the shoulder. The collar has been lightly sewn with a protective piece of cloth that can be easily removed for display (see last picture), or left on to protect it from daily wear. The kimono is lined with white cotton. Now I will shut up and let the pictures talk for themselves.
