Description
I am with a non-profit in Palm Desert, California, USA. We had a kimono donated and I am hoping that you can either provide me with information or direct me to a resource. From the research I have been able to complete on-line, it appears to be used in Japanese classical dance for the Kabuki theatre. The outer fabric is silk-satin. The base color is orange. The design is embroidered cranes in flight over stylized pine trees (perhaps uchikake). There are also mountains and clouds.
It is mounted on a linen board and hanging on a Lucite rod and encased in a Lucite box. It appears to be very well preserved. I am trying to determine a date, value, and any background information.
Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.
