Vintage Kimono Kuro Tomesode Tsuru Kawa

This black silk vintage Kuro Tomesode Kimono is adorned with delicate motifs depicting cranes on a river, surrounded by pine trees and flowers in shades of orange, yellow, and gold. The white lining is tinged with yellow due to the shadow of the patterns from exposure to the sun. A small stain at the bottom of the lining inside the kimono does not affect its outer appearance. Unique piece.
