Offered in its basted form, with the Kenzo name woven along the edging. Condition grade B.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKenzo was founded in Paris in 1970 by the Japanese designer Takada Kenzo, and the house has long drawn its energy from the meeting of Tokyo sensibility and Parisian ease. A kimono from his own name is a rare thing, a return of a Tokyo-born designer to the garment of his own country, and this furisode is the work of Takada Kenzo himself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe furisode is the formal kimono of the young unmarried woman, recognised by its long, sweeping sleeves. Here the ground is a pale, cool lilac that gathers into deeper indigo across the shoulders and sleeves, like dusk behind a bough. Cherry blossoms in coral, peach and pale pink are painted across the upper body and sleeves, with fine trailing stems, and a second scatter of small blooms runs along the lower hem, where the colour turns to a richer plum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe piece is a basted piece, a form in which the cloth has been lightly stitched together for fitting rather than fully tailored, which allows the next owner to have the garment finished and sized by a kimono specialist. The edging inside the hem is a satin band printed with the Kenzo name in green, a small and quiet signature.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey will be provided on request before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaker:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kenzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Furisode kimono, basted form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColour:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lilac shading to indigo, with coral, peach and pink blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cherry blossoms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEdging:\u003c\/strong\u003e Satin band lettered Kenzo\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMeasurements:\u003c\/strong\u003e On request\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNoticeable marks are present; please ask for close photographs before purchase.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffered in its basted form and not yet finished.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCondition grade \u003cstrong\u003eB (fair)\u003c\/strong\u003e on the Japanese scale; see \u003ca href=\"\/de\/blogs\/news\/japanese-condition-ranks-explained\"\u003eJapanese condition ranks, explained\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAuthenticity \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Kenzo lettering on the edging and the painted motifs are photographed.
