See photos for fabric quality of the lining. Little or no staining in the lining, but it appears that some discoloration in the center (which can be seen in the photo) could be due to storage and wasn't originally dyed that way.

Due to the quality and/or design, this kimono is being offered at a significantly reduced price, with a minimum amount of details being provided. Please understand that these usually be fairly stained and that we are unable to provide any more information or photos. We suggest this to be worn informally or upcycled in order to continue the life of the piece.　(Pieces with the quality rank of A~B can be worn at formal or semi-formal occasions. A subdued design on a tsukesage, for example, can be used as a house guest or for a tea ceremony.)

Unlike our non-discounted items, the cost of shipping is excluded from the listed price of the items.

The shipping fee is excluded from the price, but is based on the actual weight and dimensions plus a ~$10 handling fee and payment processing fees. The price for shipping one kimono will be significantly higher than four or five, on a per-kimono basis. If the shipping fee is significantly higher than the actual fee (such as if we can fit all into the 5kg box, but the system requires payment for a 10kg box), we will refund the excess shipping fees.

The shipping fees are based on the delivery location. Please check this link for more information on the cost to ship orders:

Patterns:
Diamonds, Hishi, 菱
This is an interesting pattern, as it is said to originate in the shape of the leaf or fruit of the trapa japonica flerow, or a type of Japanese water chestnut, and not of diamonds that are formed within the Earth. There isn’t a specific meaning of the diamond pattern, so it is generally used and remixed in many more ways than other traditional patterns.
