This fine cotton kimono bursts with celebratory energy through its densely composed, vibrantly saturated printed design. Against a deep navy-blue ground patterned with delicate ryusui (flowing water) lines, an exuberant profusion of botanical and symbolic imagery creates visual richness of remarkable intensity.

Large botan (peonies) in cream, warm orange, and apricot tones billow throughout—the "king of flowers" symbolizing wealth, prosperity, and good fortune. Smaller blossoms including ume (plum) and what appear to be sakura (cherry) add textural variety, while bold circular forms in vermillion red, soft yellow-gold, and deep green punctuate the composition. These shapes, some suggesting stylized clouds or perhaps abstract sun motifs, contain fine horizontal striations adding subtle pattern-within-pattern interest.

Small white tsuru (cranes) fly gracefully across several of the colored roundels, their elegant forms symbolizing longevity and good fortune. The combination of cranes with peonies and flowing water multiplies auspicious meanings, creating imagery appropriate for celebrations and special occasions.

The choice of fine cotton rather than silk suggests this garment was intended for practical everyday elegance or summer wear, when cotton's breathability would provide comfort.

It measures 37 inches (94 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 38 inches (97 cm) in height.
