This embroidered material is a "Japanese Kimono" saved by my mother during World War II. I love the embroidery but the kimono has been damaged and I probably would just make it into a throw pillow instead to preserve the embroidery. What do you think?
These are vintage clothing of my grandmother in the late 40’s-50’s and my mom collected and kept it for years. The embroidery is really intricate and this would look good if I frame it one by one. Maybe I will put it up in the stairwell of my new house.
Most antique items I kept are displayed there. One day I will have a bookshelf put up in that area and incorporate those antique objects my mom has kept when she was still unmarried. The contrast of brown colored antique “treasures” against the bright yellow background really looks so nice.

How amazing that your mother has kept both the antiques and the kimono all these years.
I think you should frame the kimono as it is now. It would look fantastic behind glass and you can treasure it for ever that way.
