Vintage Antique Japanese Peacock Red Silk Gold Embroidered Uchikake Wedding Kimono
This vintage Japanese peacock red silk gold embroidered uchikake wedding kimono dates from during the Showa period in the 1950s. It is made of a white watered moire silk and reddish orange ombre tie dye damask fabric, with a colorful silk and gold metallic thread raised padded satin stitch embroidered Japanese chrysanthemum flowers and peacock birds. The peacock is a symbol of integrity, love and beauty. This magnificent unique uchikake kimono would have been worn by the bride at a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony. It is fully lined, with an open front, no closure, long swinging kimono sleeves and a large rolled padded bottom hem. The kimono measures 72 inches long, with 40 inch long sleeves and a 48 inch waist and bust. It is good as-is condition, with some loose stitching, open seams along the sleeve and several color bleeding, water spot stains both inside and outside (see close-ups). This is a truly a wonderful piece of wearable Japanese textile art!
