Kikyo (桔梗) – Bellflower

R1 700,00Price
A refined awase kimono crafted from silky fabric with a soft, flowing drape, lined in matching silk for warmth and structure. The deep, dark ground provides a striking canvas for rich accents in crimson and navy, where delicate bellflower-inspired motifs intertwine with subtle geometric patterns, creating quiet depth and elegant rhythm across the surface.
Designed for cooler months or formal occasions, the silk lining and fluid weave lend a graceful weight that enhances the kimono’s silhouette while maintaining effortless movement.
Likely from the mid-Shōwa era (circa 1950s–1970s), this piece reflects a period when traditional symbolism and seasonal motifs were harmonized with refined silk craftsmanship for everyday and ceremonial wear.
A kimono of enduring beauty and quiet sophistication — the Kikyo embodies perseverance, grace, and timeless elegance in every fold.

  • Condition

    Good vintage condition — light, age-related wear.

  • Sizing

    Kimonos are traditionally designed to be loose and unstructured, which makes them naturally one size fits most. They suit a wide range of body shapes and styles, regardless of gender. The main difference between each piece is the length, so be sure to check the listed length to find the fit and look you prefer.

  • Care Instructions

    Cleaning: Avoid washing your kimono. If you must, dry clean only by a specialist familiar with Japanese textiles. Avoid machine or hand washing.

    Stains: Gently blot stains with a soft cloth; avoid rubbing. Seek professional help for stubborn stains.

    Storage: Store flat in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and moisture. Use a breathable garment bag.

    Hanging: Use a wide, padded hanger if hanging to avoid stretching.

    Airing: Air occasionally in a shaded area to prevent odors.
