Taishou Kuro-Tomesode and Taishou Maru Obi

I was utterly happy to get this stunning Taishou era Kuro-Tomesode through a private Kimono sale - for a good price. This Kimono got the name: black beauty ♥

Shortly after I purchased the Taishou-Tomesode, I fortunately also found a Taishou Maru Obi which
suits this Kimono very well - also here the price was not too high.

It was not uncommon to this time, during the Taishou era I mean, to wear Maru Obi with Kuro-Tomesode.
