Kinsai Kuro Tomesodé Kimono Skirt Set

This top and skirt set is made from a Kuro Tomesodé 黒留袖 Kimono. Kuro Tomesodé is considered the highest ranking Kimono for married women and are customarily worn for formal occasions such as weddings. Kuro Tomesodé is considered more formal than its sister Iro (color) Tomesodé 色留袖. Tomesodé Kimonos often feature one to five crests—the greater number of crests, the higher the rank.

The ornate design featuring flowers and birds are painted in the traditional Kin-Sai 金彩 technique, using gold leaf. This is a very specialized skill that takes decades to master. Features the signature stamp by the artist.

The skirt has delicate belt hoops to accommodate the matching sash, made from the original collar construction. The top is a zero-waste design made from two Kimono panels and features a v-neck in the front and back.
