うーん、古い油染みなので、完全に落とすのは難しいかもしれません。
うーん、ふるいあぶらじみなので、かんぜんにおとすのはむずかしいかもしれません。
Hmm, since it is an old oil-based stain, it might be difficult to remove completely.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the stained area with your index finger without touching the fabric too hard.
Do not rub or scratch the stain with your nails while showing it to the staff, as silk fabrics of vintage kimonos are extremely delicate.
