Need help with Vintage Kimono

Need help with info about this kimono.
I've done alot of research.

I think its either a homongi or a Hikizuri.
Yellow creamy color. Gold and brown painted design on left fromt, left sleeve fromt, right sleeve back, all along hem and collar.

Very heavy!!
Looks to be silk. Signs of wear and stains throughout but not hugely noticeable.

2 linings. More pretty one on bottom.
Panels and stitching seems to be on point.

Very long!!!!!!
63 in length/160 cm

Sleeves are smal/med 21.5in/55cm long
Sewn closed right side.

I bought it to wear but it is way too hwavy and too long. I would have to get it tailored and I don't want to do that!

Any info is helpful. Thanks

I have been trying to understand the many and varied and overlapping terms used to describe kimono. It is such a structured classification system that the only thing I can add is that I think you can call it both terms as it is painted over the seams and trailing, so it is both a homongi and a hikizuri (this term is a recent addition to classifying kimono).
