Beautifully hand sewn ka-gasuri summer kimono, partially lined with black and blue cottons, the color is dark blue to almost black, new condition with basting stitches. This is another Tsukurioki kimono. Tsukurioki means that it has been left unused after it was made into a kimono.

In modern days, Kasuri kimonos have been associated with old women from the country-side, definitely for the non-fashionable group.
