Do you think this stain on this kimono is the type that would come out if I took it to a dry cleaner?

これはかなり古い油汚れなので、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。
これはかなりふるいあぶらよごれなので、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 this is a very old oil stain, it might be difficult to remove completely even with professional stain removal.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently hover your hand over the specific stain, avoiding scratching the delicate fabric with your fingernails.
Do not pull or scratch the fabric of the antique kimono to inspect the stain, as vintage silk can be extremely fragile.
