Brown Meisen Silk Kimono: Geometric Ladder Pattern

This meisen silk kimono is crafted from a deep chocolate-brown silk ground and features a rhythmic, all-over pattern of interlocking geometric "ladder" motifs. Each primary motif consists of a tan rectangular block filled with fine vertical pinstripes and bordered by white, serrated edges that create a sense of structured, modern design.

The composition reflects a modern, almost avant-garde take on textile patterns, moving away from traditional botanical imagery toward clean, repetitive geometry. The meisen weaving technique is evident in the crisp, high-contrast transitions and the slight visual vibration of the patterns, which lend a sense of dynamic energy to the repetitive blocks.

It measures approximately 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands at 58 inches (147 cm) in height.
