$3,400.00

An exceptional and visually arresting vintage Uchikake wedding kimono from the late Meiji to early Taisho period (circa 1910s–1930s), originally designed for ceremonial bridal wear. This opulent outer garment is rendered in rich red silk and adorned with intricate brocade embroidery using gold and vibrant silk threads.

The elaborate design features an idyllic Japanese nature scene, with finely detailed depictions of pagodas, arched bridges, flowing water gardens, trees, and mountainous landscapes. Executed in brilliant tones of green, blue, red, and gold, these elements form a mesmerizing composition of roundel motifs, especially captivating when viewed from the back.

Heavily padded with red lining and weighted along the hem, this larger-than-life kimono was crafted exclusively for ceremonial use and not intended for daily wear. Today, it serves as a striking decorative object—ideal as wall-mounted textile art or displayed sculpturally on a stand. This hand-crafted masterpiece offers both historical significance and extraordinary visual presence, perfect for high-end interiors seeking cultural depth and elegance.
