This printed cotton juban (under-kimono) is a vibrant and graphically dense example of mid-century textile design, likely intended for a woman or young woman. The garment is characterized by a complex, interlocking composition of geometric and botanical motifs in a rich palette of navy blue, coral-orange, lavender, and cream.
The all-over pattern features a rhythmic arrangement of rectangular blocks and cloud-like forms, which are layered with traditional seasonal symbols. Among these are clusters of wisteria (fuji) trailing vertically, maple leaves (momiji) signifying autumn, and stylized floral medallions containing geometric patterns. The use of printed cotton—rather than more formal silk—suggests this was a practical yet stylish garment for everyday use,
It measures 49 inches (125 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 54 inches (137 cm) in height.
