This silk kimono showcases a rare combination of satin faux-meisen flower-motif stripes alternated with omeshi-crepe broad burgundy-colored stripes. Despite some silk shattering at the extreme base, the piece boasts luxurious high-quality silk, complex weaving techniques, and a unique design. It measures 50 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at a height of 60 inches (127 cm x 152 cm).

This artwork is featured on page 237 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.
