This ceremonial antique kimono for boys showcases a yuzen-painted hawk adorned with embroidery highlights. Measuring 32 inches (81 cm) across the sleeves and standing at 39 inches (99 cm) in height, it bears areas of patina but retains its ceremonial charm.

This artwork is featured on pages 306-309 of Ceremonial Textiles of Japan, 18th to 20th Centuries. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
