Vintage Japanese Silk Brocade Embroidery Ceremonial Kimono in Ivory, Red, Gold

About the Item

An exquisite and visually commanding vintage Uchikake wedding kimono from Japan, dating from the late Meiji to early Taisho period (circa 1910s–1930s). Traditionally worn by brides during ceremonial occasions, this rare textile art piece is crafted in white silk with vivid red and gold embroidery. The kimono showcases a breathtaking array of auspicious symbols, including flying phoenixes, blooming peonies, maple branches, fans, and cascading wisteria—each rendered in intricate detail using brilliant colored and metallic threads. These motifs form roundel compositions that are especially mesmerizing when viewed from the back, where the full artistry of the garment unfolds. Padded with red fabric and weighted along the hemline, this larger-than-life, hand-embroidered robe was designed for formal ceremonial display and not for daily wear. Today, it serves beautifully as a statement wall hanging, draped textile sculpture, or collector’s centerpiece in refined interiors.
