Rare Vintage Japanese Houmongi Kimono! 🌸✨

This is a remarkable vintage Houmongi kimono, crafted by Kizaburo Fukuda, father of the Living National Treasure embroidery artist Kiju Fukuda. It features delicate embroidery and gold-painted paper fan (uchiwa) motifs on pale pink silk with subtle ombré shading.
