    Well I have a guess. ;) It's definitely Japanese, but it's from the colder parts of Japan. May even be AINU related. It looks like a toddler's kimono, very nice!! Oh, and I don't mean that someone actually wore it. Japanese folk art is what I'm thinking. :D

    Thank you, this is all new to me. finally got a little time on my hands. Do you know if the Japanese ever used real gemstones on these?? Red Ruby?:)

    Yeah, those red ruby things is what makes it say Blamo, to me!! :D Very nice!, I don't think those would be real, mainly because of the settings but someone might know better than me. ;) Nice find for sure!

    I can't see anyway for this to have actually been worn - as in put on, take off. I see no opening in front, no opening at neck and no thickness to indicate that there's a "back" behind what we can see. A cool hanger, but not an actual piece of clothing.

    Call it "fabric art."

    "Fabric Art" sounds good to me. Thanks
