Help with Japanese kimono I found !

I picked this up a while ago and just now ran it through google lens for some help but seems kind of surface level - can anyone provide any additional info or translation? It seems like it's a firefighter type kimono but I don't know what to say in the listing description or how old it is. Pricing suggestions welcome too. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Help with Japanese kimono I found !

This fireman's kimono doesn't appear to be very old. The type of fabric and its decoration suggests mid to late 20th century. The design is printed on a heavy woven fabric, rather than being done by hand. There's no sign that it was ever used as protective equipment, or worn very much. It appears to be in quite good condition.

 

We don't give prices or valuations here. We can't see or examine the item personally. You can take the information above, and compare prices for new or recent fireman's kimonos. Don't compare it to antique, 19th century, or hand-decorated ones, though.
