Okāsan Ume Kimono

Part of the Okāsan collection, this full-length hōmongi is woven from luminous pale champagne rinzū silk, its subtle seigaiha (wave) damask creating a refined, flowing texture.
Hand-painted yūzen plum blossoms (ume) in coral-orange and soft white rise from the lower hem, asymmetrically trailing across the panels. In Japanese symbolism, ume represents resilience, renewal, and the quiet promise of spring.
Likely from the mid-Shōwa era (1950s–1970s), this kimono pairs delicate rinzū weaving with expressive seasonal motifs, balancing formality with poetic softness.
 
Condition: Good vintage — light, age-related wear.
Length: Full length — dramatic and elegant; designed as a statement piece.
 
A kimono of gentle strength and renewal — luminous, flowing, and rich with seasonal symbolism.
