This homongi (type of semi-formal kimono) made from chirimen crepe silk, features dramatic wave motifs executed in a sophisticated monochromatic palette of white and gray against a deep black background.
The wave imagery is clearly inspired by traditional Japanese artistic conventions, particularly reminiscent of the iconic wave style seen in classical Japanese art. The waves are rendered with flowing, organic curves and characteristic foam caps that spiral and curl with dynamic energy. The silk-screen technique creates clean, bold forms while the metallic painted highlights add dimensional depth and luminous accents that would catch light beautifully when worn.
The composition is masterfully balanced, with waves flowing across both the sleeves and the lower portion of the garment in a continuous, rhythmic pattern. The placement follows traditional kimono design principles, where the most elaborate decoration typically appears on the hem and sleeves. The waves appear to surge upward from the bottom edge, creating a sense of movement and vitality.
There are two tiny white stains located near the front lapels. Its measurements are approximately 49 inches from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 62 inches in height, or about 124 centimeters by 157 centimeters.
