Amazing kimono with a flying swallows motif. The dark collar is especially notable as it is not a feature widely spread today (collars in contrasting colors were a fashionable statement during Edo era). ichiroya presents this kimono as a houmongi (visiting wear) but the collar and the dark lower part truly make me think about a dounuki (inner kimono). This piece is very puzzling! -- source link
