This meisen silk kimono displays abstract art motifs, albeit with heavy patina staining on the inner cotton lining, which remains hidden when worn or displayed. Additionally, there are several light stains on the outside. Its measurements are 48 inches (122 cm) from sleeve-end to sleeve-end and 59 inches (150 cm) in height.

This artwork is featured on page 321 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.
