Vintage silk kimono with an overall repeating bokashi (gradation) in purple and gray. The design looks like clouds (or camouflage). The base fabric has a woven design of large stylized flowers. There are some spots/stains but the design is interesting and I think it is still wearable.
Age: vintage
Condition: good. There are small spots/stains on the collar and one spot on the lower left back panel, not very visible as a result of the design.

Before you buy:
I try to list all major visible and known issues in the description, but since these are vintage items that sometimes have been in storage for decades, there might be additional less obvious issues.
I do my best to reproduce the correct color in the pictures; however, the actual color and sheen of the item may look slightly different from the images shown on your screen.
