This "ro" (gauze) summer silk kimono depicts a jumping carp motif created using sumi-e and freehand pigment-painting techniques. Its measurements are approximately 44 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 45 inches in height, or about 112 centimeters by 114 centimeters.
Although it aligns with most features of a younger boy's miyamairi kimono, such as its design and purpose, this kimono stands out due to its larger size, including a two-panel back. This suggests that it would have been worn by a 12 to 14-year-old youth for a special summer ceremony, deviating slightly in size from the typical miyamairi kimono for younger boys.
