This silk kimono has complex abstract patterning, as revealed in the accompanying detail image.
The allover pattern presents an abstract, almost biomorphic design in a rich palette of coral-red, deep aubergine-purple, and flecks of cream. The forms flow and interlock across the surface in what appears to be a symmetrical repeat on diagonal axes, though the organic irregularity of individual shapes prevents rigid geometric reading. The effect suggests stylized foliage or purely abstract decorative invention—the kind of bold non-representational patterning that emerged as modernist Western influences merged with Japanese textile traditions during the Taishō and early Shōwa periods.
From a distance, the dense patterning creates a unified warm tonality with shimmering visual texture.
The peach-coral lining visible at sleeve openings and edges provides harmonious complement to the warm surface palette.
It's in excellent condition, measuring around 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 58 inches (147 cm) in height.
