This very fine silk inner kimono features refined shibori patterning alongside katazome faux-shibori. While showcasing exquisite craftsmanship, it does have minor fraying in a few areas. Its measurements are 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 56 inches (142 cm) in height.
This particular dounuki is a distinctive style of inner kimono within a kimono set. Its defining feature lies in the sleeves and hem sections, which are stitched to a contrasting material and pattern-work on the main bodice. The shibori work on the bodice exhibits subtle refinement, wherein the large shibori white medallions were initially crafted, followed by yuzen flower paintings within each medallion. This meticulous process resulted in a masterpiece of lengthy and painstaking craftsmanship. The dot-pattern faux-shibori katazome stenciling is specifically reserved for the sides and hem cloth, adjoining the shibori bodice.
