そうですね、古いシミなので、専門の染み抜きじゃないと難しいかもしれません。
そうですね、ふるいしみなので、せんもんのしみぬきじゃないとむずかしいかもしれません。
Well, since it's an old stain, it might be difficult to remove unless you take it to a specialized stain removal service.
Gesture & etiquette
Gently point to the stained area with an open hand rather than a single finger.
Do not pull or scratch the fabric of the antique kimono to inspect the stain, as it can damage fragile silk.
