古いシミなので、専門のシミ抜きでも完全に落と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でもかんぜんにおとすのはむずかしいかもしれません。
Since it is an old stain, it might be difficult to remove completely even with professional stain removal.
Gesture & etiquette
Point carefully to the stain on the kimono with a flat hand rather than poking it with a single finger.
Do not pull or rub the fabric of the antique kimono roughly when inspecting it, as silk can damage easily.
