This chirimen silk kimono displays woven arrow motifs and measures approximately 49 inches (125 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, standing at 62 inches (157 cm) in height. Although the kimono itself features several silk slits within the inner red lining, these imperfections remain hidden when the kimono is displayed.

This artwork is featured on page 272 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
