This man's silk hanjuban (under-kimono) displays a sophisticated composition where different design philosophies coexist harmoniously: the body features an all-over pattern of flowing, organic forms in muted earth tones of olive, rust, and sage green, while the sleeves showcase dramatically different motifs including bold geometric stripes and what appears to be stylized dragon or mythological creature imagery rendered in stark black and white linear designs.

The organic, almost Art Nouveau-inspired flowing forms on the main body of the garment suggest natural elements like water, wind, or vegetation, symbolizing the constant flow of life and natural harmony. Meanwhile, the graphic linear work on the sleeves demonstrates influences from both traditional Japanese woodblock printing techniques and emerging modernist design principles.

It measures 51 inches (130 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 29 inches (74 cm) tall.
