A cute pattern of pages containing Sajura and Ume blossoms, and Kiku floral designs and patterns fill this kimono fabric.
Sakura, The Cherry Blossom is one of the first of the year to bloom, and blooms for a relatively long time. It holds a special place in hearts of the Japanese: signifying new beginnings. Ume, the Plum Blossom is a very popular symbol on fabrics. It is a favourite within the range of Japanese designs: it’s beauty and fragrance has been reflected in many poems. It is the first of the year to bloom, and therefore represents endurance.
Kiku, the chrysanthemum, is the flower of the Imperial House and and often used icon of Japan itself (it features on Japanese passports).
The pattern is printed on a silk, that is woven with a mottled pattern to give extra lustre.
This vintage kimono was sourced from Tokyo. It is approximately 20-30 years old.
