This chirimen silk kimono presents two varieties of yabane (arrow feather) motifs, occasionally overlapping each other. One set is crafted using katazome technique, while the other employs shibori (tie-dye) method. Measuring approximately 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 59 inches (150 cm) in height, this kimono embodies a dynamic blend of design techniques.
