The design on this kimono employs a striking geometric layout combined with inset floral elements, reflecting the dynamic visual experimentation of the Taishō era (1912–1926). Large angular blocks in teal, rust, and patterned ivory create a fragmented surface that recalls the aesthetic of early Cubism and the emergent Art Deco style. The bold, interlocking shapes break away from the flowing all-over motifs typical of earlier kimono, signaling a shift toward modernist design principles in Japanese textiles.

Within these geometric panels, small floral arrangements and dotted or striped segments add both visual contrast and cultural resonance. The flowers likely symbolize seasonal beauty and continuity, grounding the avant-garde composition in traditional meaning. The interplay of stripes, dots, and solid tones enhances the sense of rhythm and asymmetry—a hallmark of Japanese design that aligned well with Western modernist movements of the time.

The use of silk-screening allowed for crisp, layered patterns and precise color application, while the rinzu silk base provided a subtle damask texture visible beneath the surface design. This juxtaposition of tactile luxury with bold modern graphics illustrates the hybrid sensibility of the period, merging centuries-old textile craftsmanship with the spirit of innovation and cosmopolitan taste that defined the Taishō cultural moment.

Measuring approximately 53 inches (135 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and standing at a height of 57 inches (145 cm), the garment  features long orange ties attached to the lapels, which appear to have been added post-creation and could potentially be removed if desired.
