This formal boy's miyamairi kimono features an elaborate kabuto (samurai helmet) rendered in rich embroidery and metallic gold. The helmet's dramatic kuwagata horns rise prominently in gleaming gold, while the bowl features intricate detailing in purple, green, orange, and gold with decorative roundels and protective neck guards. The kabuto symbolizes strength, courage, protection, and the hope that the boy will grow into a noble, brave man—associations stemming from the samurai warrior tradition.

The composition divides into three horizontal zones: solid black silk at top and bottom, with a cream band across the center featuring a rust-orange grid pattern suggesting bamboo fencing or lattice. Small green pine shoots emerge through this grid, symbolizing resilience and longevity. Gold-toned motifs including stylized fans or arrows appear on the cream ground, while the upper black section displays white family crests (mon)—the circular emblems identifying the child's family lineage.

Measuring 33 inches (84 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, it stands at 42 inches (107 cm) in height.
