They will look great on a mannequin, or you could really have some unusual projects going with the fabric alone! Great find! Great deal!

I think Lisa might be right! I looked up Chinese silk jackets on google and they had that type of closure! Kimonos are more like the other one that I bought with this one (the one with the dragons) where they seem to just kind of fold. How neat! I knew there would be someone out there who knew about these types of things! A little bit of info from a fellow blogger~ Thanks Lisa! 🙂

As far as I know, kimono don't use the frog closures like yours has. But it is lovely, nevertheless and a great find.

The detail and the colors are stunning. When Maddie and Tony traveled from S. Korea thier foster parents sent along Han Bok's for them and use. The detail is beautiful. I have thought about framing one and hanging it on the wall as art. Can't wait to see what you decide!

During one specific era(which one I cannot remember:/) the French began trade with the Asias. During that time when they were exposed to a whole new world of beauty. Things like Cherry Blossoms, the blue China amongst zillions of other things began to be incorporated into the Old World French Decor. So it's really not surprising you'd be drawn to a pattern on a kimono- you've always liked those elements used in French but probably like myself had never realized that weren't truly French. That's not to say you'll go crazy with the modern influence of decor styles that are heavily influenced by the Orient. lol… I don't really see you having a platform bed. Me neither for that matter. lol

Your kimono is beautiful….you could wear it, display it, or just treasure it. They can be quite valueable as far as antiquities go.

Blessings,
