Title Meisen kimono with a floral design

Vintage meisen kimono with a floral design. The kimono features a colorful floral design with large peony (botan) and smaller plum blossom (ume) and chrysanthemum (kiku) on a beige background. The fabric is a plain weave silk with the design stencil applied to both the warp and weft threads (heiyo gasuri) creating the typical meisen brushstroke like effect. The lining is in white cotton and light pink silk. The kimono has shitsuke ito (basting threads) indicating that is has likely never been worn or been professionally cleaned.
