An antique kimono is a kimono that is approximately 100 years old or older. This period is known as the Taisho Era, a time when Western culture was introduced and Japanese culture underwent major changes. Antique kimono patterns are characterized by color schemes and gorgeous patterns based on Western culture. Mixing them with existing Japanese culture created ideas that had never been seen before. Antique kimonos are popular among many retro-loving girls because of their unique glamour.
