This meisen silk kimono is a striking example of the bold, linear aesthetics . The garment is defined by a rhythmic, all-over pattern of vertical stripes (tatejima) in alternating widths. The palette is sophisticated and modern, featuring broad bands of deep chocolate-brown contrasted with sets of fine cream and tan pinstripes.. It's slightly smaller in size than average, measuring 46 inches (117 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at 57 inches (145 cm) in height.
