Kimono Komon In Silk, Japan, Leaf Decor, 1950/1960, Very Good Condition

Kimono komon in silk, (lined with an interior silk) with leaf decoration, refined design, in very good condition, around 1950, 1960.
Length: 140 cm, width: 118 cm During the Edo period (1603- 1867), the different social classes were subject to strict rules even in the way of clothing. Indeed, silk was reserved for the nobility and the warriors.
However, the silk growers began to manufacture for their own use, fabrics from silk threads of average quality, impossible to market.
These fabrics which revealed irregularities on their surface and which looked nothing like silk (but rather cotton) were then very popular with the lower classes (merchants, bourgeois) who, thanks to this ingenuity, then had the possibility of peacefully carrying a material which was forbidden to them. Komon (小 紋?): Small pattern. It is a kimono with a repeating pattern.
This kimono is quite informal, and can be worn in town, or made more formal with a nice obi (silk belt) to eat at the restaurant.
Married and single women can wear it.
