This meisen-omeshi silk kimono features a vibrant emerald green ground, providing a dramatic canvas for an exuberant floral composition featuring large-scale peonies in the foreground and chrysanthemums forming the background pattern. The design demonstrates the influence of Art Deco and Western decorative arts on traditional Japanese motifs, with its assertive scale, saturated colors, and confident patterning that diverges significantly from the subtle, nature-inspired designs of earlier periods.

The peony, known as the "king of flowers" in East Asian culture, symbolizes honor, wealth, and feminine beauty, while also representing bravery and masculine virtue in certain contexts. The chrysanthemums, Japan's imperial flower, traditionally signify longevity, rejuvenation, and nobility. This combination creates a powerful symbolic statement about prosperity and imperial favor. The meisen technique, which allowed for more affordable production of colorful, complex designs, democratized luxury textile aesthetics and enabled the creation of such bold, painterly effects that would have been prohibitively expensive using traditional methods.

The second image reveals the technical sophistication of the meisen-omeshi weaving process, showing how the pre-dyed warps and wefts create a distinctive, slightly blurred quality reminiscent of ikat textiles. This technique produces the characteristic "fuzzy" edges and soft color transitions that give meisen fabrics their unique visual texture, allowing complex pictorial designs to be achieved through mechanical weaving rather than hand-painting or embroidery.

The inner "doura" lining is cotton and the lower hakkake lining is rayon. Shows several small repairs. Measures 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and stands 57 inches (145 cm) tall.
