Tsukesage - Pale pink with pine-shaped hat pattern - Kimono named "Koi" (Love), height 165 cm

A pale, elegant pink base color. This is a *tsukesage* with gracefully drawn *kasamatsu* (pine and cypress) motifs.

There is a touch of gold *kasumi* (mist) in places, giving it an elegant splendor.

The highlight of this kimono is, without a doubt, the *jimon* (fabric pattern). The *jimon* floats on the high-quality Tango chirimen fabric. If you zoom in on the images, you'll see it clearly, but the character for "love" (恋) is densely patterned throughout.

When it comes to *jimon* using kanji, you often see "fortune" (福) or "longevity" (壽), but "love" (恋) is quite rare.

I believe it was made at the end of the Heisei era. I wore it twice, both times for a short period, and have carefully stored it in a *kiri-dansu* (paulownia chest).

There is a faint stain on the left collar and some color transfer from the buttons (last two images), but otherwise, I don't think there are any major flaws. The collar line is also not dirty.
