古い油汚れのようですので、専門の染み抜きでないと難しいかもしれません。
ふるいあぶらよごれのようですので、せんもんのしみぬきでないとむずかしいかもしれません。
It looks like an old oil stain, so it might be difficult unless you take it to a specialized stain removal service.
Gesture & etiquette
Point to the stain gently with your index finger without touching the fabric too forcefully.
Do not rub or scratch the stain on the delicate silk fabric while showing it, as it can damage the kimono fibers.
