This fine silk ceremonial miyamairi kimono is designed for a boy's initiation at a Shinto shrine. It features yuzen-dyed motifs depicting Urashima Taro's departure from the Ryugujyo underwater palace. The garment showcases painting and couching embroidery details. It measures 33 inches (84 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 40 inches (102 cm) in height. Here's the famous folktale adapted from Wikipedia:

"One day, a young fisherman named Urashima Taro notices a group of children tormenting a small turtle. Taro intervenes, rescuing the turtle and allowing it to return to the sea. The following day, a massive turtle approaches him. It reveals that the small turtle he saved is the daughter of the Emperor of the Sea, Ryujin, who wishes to express gratitude. The turtle grants Taro gills and transports him to the bottom of the sea, to the Palace of the Dragon God (Ryugujo). There, he encounters the Emperor and the small turtle, now transformed into a beautiful princess named Otohime. Taro spends several days with her but eventually desires to return to his village to see his aging mother. He seeks Otohime's permission to depart. Although saddened by his leaving, the princess wishes him well and gifts him a mysterious box called tamatebako, cautioning him never to open it. Taro takes the box, rides on the same turtle that brought him, and arrives swiftly at the seashore.

Upon his return, everything has changed. His home is gone, his mother has vanished, and the familiar faces are nowhere to be found. When he inquires about Urashima Taro, he's informed that someone by that name vanished at sea centuries ago. He realizes that 300 years have passed since his departure for the bottom of the sea. Overwhelmed with grief, he absentmindedly opens the box given by the princess, releasing a cloud of white smoke. Instantly, he ages, his beard turns long and white, and his back bends. From the sea, the sorrowful yet gentle voice of the princess echoes: 'I warned you not to open that box. It contained your old age...'"
