Women's Silk Kimono Costume, Unsewn Kimono Fabric (Karieba)

Order via Japan Rabbit

This unstitched luxury furisode layout brings classic Japanese formal elegance straight to your creative wardrobe project. Crafted from pure hon-rinzu silk, the fabric comes to life with hand-drawn Yuzen dyeing from Tokamachi, Niigata, an area renowned for high-grade textile craftsmanship. The design centers on a traditional shell-bucket motif (kaioke) surrounded by flowers of the four seasons: delicate cherry blossoms, mandarin orange blossoms, and deep autumn maples.

This item is presented in the traditional kari-eba format, meaning the silk panels are temporarily basted together to display the continuous pattern before tailoring. That basted structure lets the fabric be custom-cut and sewn into a finished lined (awase) furisode suited to your precise measurements. It comes with matching hakkake under-lining fabric already included, and it's made in Japan from 100% silk.

This is a new, unused piece, offered at clearance pricing as part of a warehouse stock-reduction sale, so it may carry very minor flaws consistent with that kind of special offer.
