This boy's kimono is from pre(or during) WWII. It is made of plain silk, and has unique war motifs - tank, battle ship/plane and rising sun flags are dyed. Shoulder and bodice are folded and sewn to be shortened. It has some flaws as photos show, but as a whole it is in very good condition. *Softness ( Exceptionally Soft, □ Soft, Medium, Comparatively Stiff, Stiff ) photo:sakon
