This kimono abandons classical motifs in favor of an abstract geometric pattern that transforms the humble bamboo into a vehicle for pure visual rhythm and color exploration. The silkscreen technique allows for crisp, precise registration of the horizontal bamboo segments, which are rendered as stylized bands in vivid red, deep purple, and olive green against a neutral cream ground. This approach reflects the influence of European avant-garde movements, particularly the geometric abstractions of the Bauhaus and the bold color relationships explored by the Fauves, while maintaining a distinctly Japanese sensibility through the underlying bamboo reference.

The artist's treatment of the bamboo motif is revolutionary in its reduction to essential linear elements—the characteristic nodes and hollow sections are abstracted into alternating bands of solid color and fine linear details that suggest the plant's segmented structure without literal representation. This reductive approach aligns with the broader modernist principle of "form follows function," where decorative elements are stripped to their most essential visual components. The seemingly random distribution of colored bands across the kimono's surface creates a dynamic, all-over pattern that anticipates later developments in textile design and graphic art. The use of silkscreen printing technology, still relatively new in Japanese textile production, demonstrates the period's embrace of industrial techniques and mass production aesthetics, even within the context of traditional garment construction.

It comes with a 1x2" light red stain on the upper center back, visible in one of the gallery image. It measures 49 inches (124 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 60 inches (152 cm) in height.
