This silk rinzu kimono presents vertical faux-shibori 'yabane' (arrow feather) motifs. It measures approximately 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 56 inches (142 cm) in height. The 'yabane' patterns create a striking visual effect reminiscent of the traditional shibori technique, adding a unique and stylish element to the garment.
