古いシミなので、専門のシミ抜きに出しても完全に消すのは難しいかもしれません。
ふるいしみなので、せんもんのしみぬきにだしてもかんぜんにけすのはむずかしいかもしれません。
Since it's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove completely even if you take it to a specialist.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the specific stain while holding the kimono carefully with both hands.
Do not pull or scratch the fabric of antique kimonos, as they can be very delicate.
