Some of the leaves have also been slightly painted.\n\nThe back and front of the kimono each consist of two long panels joined at the centre front and back. A flat collar band extends round the neck from the waist. There is no extra fullness and the hemline is padded with cotton wool in the traditional manner. The sleeves have been left unstitched for a short distance under the arms.\n\nThe kimono is lined with red silk."@en . . "1750 / 1800, Japan" . . . .
