Japanese Wedding Kimono – This piece was made in Kyoto, Japan for the Kimura Family on the ocassion of the wedding of their daughter, Kamiko, in 1968. You can see from the detail photo the craftsmanship is impeccable. Made of 100% silk, this Kimono is in excellent condition.
Kimono of this calibre are now being rented for US$1,500 a day.
The purchase of this Kimono would be considered to be for someone who is high ranking in Japanese Society, a tradition that has been maintained for centuries.
I had planned to use this for my own wedding but the man I was to marry passed away before the event.
I am planning a trip to Europe this Spring. Who knows, maybe I will find a new fellow, or, maybe he will find me.
