This skirt is a handmade kimono from the 1960s-1970s. It is hand embroidered and depicts a hand drum. It has been carefully crafted by artisans of this period. This kimono was made by a mother to wear to her child's wedding. The kimono was like a wedding dress that had seen happy family times and was never worn otherwise. The pictures that the craftsman took time to draw are only presented to a limited number of people at a limited time, and are forgotten in time and history. Such a thing, made by a craftsman over the time of his own life, was reborn as a fashionable dress.
There is a hole in the belt part, through which a cord can be threaded, allowing it to be used as a wrap skirt. It is adjustable and can be adjusted from a waist of 60 cm to 85 cm. Depending on the size of your waist, you can either tie the strings at the sides or at the back.
Length is 95 cm.
The 'tsuzumi' is a musical instrument often seen in Noh plays and as an accompaniment to chanting.
It is a percussion instrument used in traditional Japanese Noh music. The Japanese musical instrument is a symbol of culture and is considered to be a pattern for wishing for the improvement of one's skills. It also has a meaning of success, as in "things will turn out well". Trees essential to Japanese gardens, such as pine trees and autumn leaves, are also depicted, showing how people in the past used to beat the kotsuzumi in Japanese gardens to enliven festivities.
It is embroidered with gold leaf and gold thread and can be worn to parties and dinner parties. How about wearing it with a sleeveless black cut-and-sewn or a black turtleneck?
We have created a one-of-a-kind skirt from a historical Japanese kimono.
