Cream Silk Crepe Kimono with Floral Hem

Japanese Traditional · 1960s · Japanese

This formal kimono displays the classic T-shaped construction with wide rectangular sleeves and straight-lined silhouette characteristic of traditional Japanese garments. The cream-colored silk crepe fabric provides a smooth, matte surface that drapes in clean geometric lines. Decorative motifs are concentrated at the hem and sleeve ends, featuring brown and burgundy floral designs that appear to include chrysanthemums or similar blooms. The placement of decoration follows traditional kimono aesthetics, leaving the upper body area unadorned while creating visual weight at the garment's lower edge. The wide sleeves extend horizontally, creating the kimono's distinctive architectural silhouette that transforms the body into geometric planes.
