This meisen silk kimono, relatively fine and soft, showcases abstract spiral motifs. The collar is a 'bachi-eri' (folded style), adding a touch of elegance to the design. However, it does have some minor staining and patina, along with a tiny hole on the left sleeve. Measuring 50 inches (127 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end, it stands at 60 inches (152 cm) in height.

This artwork is featured on page 287 of Art Kimono: Aesthetic Revelations of Japan, 1905-1960. This book, published by Yorke Antique Textiles, can be previewed or purchased on our website here.
